Chess AI
========
To benchmark, run:
cargo bench
A new attempt at a Chess AI in Rust. This attempt will try to achieve the following goals:
- [x] Using proper bitboards for move generation
- [x] Pawn
- [x] Single Move
- [x] Double Move
- [x] Normal Captures
- [x] En Passant
- [x] Rook
- [x] Horizontal Moves
- [x] Vertical Moves
- [x] Knight
- [x] Bishop
- [x] Queen
- [x] King
- [x] Castling
- [ ] Web frontend for seeing chess boards
- [ ] Using some sort of Arena for the tree
- [ ] Minimax w/ alpha-beta pruning
- [ ] Iterative depth first search
- [ ] Adaptive search depth over the course of the game and how much time is remaining
Stretch Goals:
- [ ] Hooking up to Chess.com API to play against
- [ ] Setting up tournament server for other AI to play against/rank.
- [ ] Using lookups for boards to choose best move without searching (especially at the start)
- [ ] Uisng an evolutionary algorithm to tune parameters
- [ ] Piece Values
- [ ] How deep to search at any given time
Possible Optimizations:
- [ ] Using premade boards for a lot of masks.
NOTE: This actually may end up slower because the frequent lookups may thrash the cache
- [ ] 64 knight move pattern boards
- [ ] 64 bishop move pattern boards
- [ ] 64 rook move pattern boards
- [ ] 65 king move pattern boards
- [ ] Use opening move database for initial moves
