Chess engine: Dragonrose 0.25

 

Dragonrose is a weak chess engine written in C. This is merely a passion project of mine, and I certainly don't expect much to come out of it, but I hope to learn a bit more about C and programming in general through this experience. 

Rating CEDR=2600

Dragonrose is based on VICE, a chess engine written by Richard Allbert (Bluefever Software), which is a didactic chess engine aimed to introduce beginners to the world of chess programming. Huge credits to him for creating the YouTube series explaining the engine in great detail.

v.0.25:

Estimated rating: 2318 +/- 22 CCRL

Edit: The binary is updated to fix an usual illegal-move bug that occurs with the new time management fix.
