Author: Vivien Clauzon Rating Chess Engines Diary CEDR=3523
Minic, a Chess Engine Communication Protocol compliant open source chess engine by Vivien Clauzon, initially squashed inside a single C++ source file licensed under the GPL v3.0. As a weekend project, it started as 2000 lines of code mailbox approach using PVS with TT, NMP, LMP and eval based on psts, and evolved to a bitboard engine using HQ, lazy SMP, and Texel tuning to optimize its tapered eval [source].
