Grail 1.0.0 - new chess engine




Grail - UCI chess engine
Author: Jørgen Hanssen


After working on it for a while, I feel my hobby chess engine is finally ready for v1.0.0. Not cutting edge, but plays a solid game.

Grail uses modern search techniques and evaluates positions using a simple NNUE trained on 500 million positions from self-play.

Development continues in my spare time, and I plan to release updates with several missing features and improvements like threading, tablebase support, and pondering. But don't worry! Grail supports all standard UCI time controls and analysis modes, so it works seamlessly with your favorite GUI for matches and analysis.
