Ferrous 0.5.1 - new version chess engine


 
Ferrous is a brute-force calculating chess engine that plays in a local environment. The way it works is it looks through positions by generating best moves for both sides in its "mind" and determines which one is the best for it. Ferrous works on bitboards, which means it has room for massive optimizations and potential to become better than all human chess players on Earth. It's current limitation is depth 9, beyond which Ferrous cannot find a move in reasonable time.
