Euwe is a UCI chess engine written in modern C++. It is named after Max Euwe, a Dutch chess player, mathematician, former FIDE president, and the fifth World Chess Champion.

Since this is the first release of the engine it is still relatively simplistic and has only moderate playing strength. Based on my own testing against other open source engines on CCRL I expect that it's strength (under 2'/1" time control) is about 2200-2250 elo. I'm excited to continue tinkering with it to improve it.
v.1.1.0:
Several bugfixes, including issues #1 and #2.
Adds bishop pair to evaluation.
Adds futility pruning to search.
Approximate strength gain: 64.8 +/- 28.3 Elo.
