Byte-knight 1.0.0 - Initial Release! Latest
Author: Paul T (USA)

1.0.0
 9ea663b
This is the first release of byte-knight. Based on play against stash, the estimated ELO of byte-knight is around ~1800. The following features are implemented in this version:

Search
Iterative deepening
Negamax with a/b pruning
Quiescent search
Move ordering using basic MVV/LVA table
PeSTO based evaluation with tapering using the PeSTO PSQT values
Transposition table (used for move ordering and cutoffs)
Game
I've written my own board representation complete with legal and pseudo-legal move generation as well as magic bitboards for sliding piece attacks. Performance is acceptable and will likely be improved on in the future.
