Chess Engine for Mac: Altair 4.0.0

Altair is a uci chess engine that succeeds my old python engine Antares.
Rating CEDR=2701 (Windows)  author: Alexander Tian

v.4.0.0:
This is the fourth version of Altair. Altair now supports Fischer Random Chess (Chess 960) by toggling the UCI option.

Compared to previous releases, this release is not as major, and this is due to the release marking the final version of Altair using an internal mailbox-based board representation. Due to the mailbox-based board representation, Altair is comparatively slow and has much more potential utilizing bitboards.
