Maxima 2.0.0 JA - new version chess engine

on

Maxima - UCI chess engine
Author: Hermen Reitsma and Erik van het Hof

Maxima2, a chess playing program.
Maxima2 is the successor of QueenMaxima and BugChess NL. The code has been completely rewritten and modernized using new developments in computer chess from the last decade.

The most notable changes are:
64 bits architecture with bitboards and move generation with magic bitboards.
Using Late Move Reductions (LMR) in the search.
Less extensions, more pruning.
More efficient code.
Integrated self-matching test for testing and tuning evaluation values.
Tapered evaluation.
Maxima is now an UCI engine.
Maxima currently only plays traditional chess. Plans are to support wild variants again soon, mainly loser's and suicide chess.
