Sloth - UCI chess engine Rating CEDR=2370
Author: Williamguttn
Sloth is a decent UCI chess engine made with C++, although significant parts of its source code are written in a C stylish code.
Sloth is a beginner project, and can therefore not be compared/matched against other powerful engines like Stockfish. It currently uses Hand Crafted Evaluation, but there are plans to implement NNUE evaluation in the future
What is this project based on?
Sloth is based on the [BBC chess engine](https://www.chessprogramming.org/BBC) made by [Maksym Korzh (Code Monkey King)](https://www.chessprogramming.org/Maksim_Korzh). He, alongside his engine, has brought me into a whole new world of chess. And for that, I will always be grateful. Without his knowledge, none of this would be possible.
v1.7:
Added depth reductions to NMP
