# Snowy

Snowy is a simple UCI chess engine written in C++. It is quite weak, and it is
developed as a hobby project only.
Snowy is a UCI chess engine written in C++. It uses an array-based board
representation (ie, not bitboard), and searches in a straightforward minimax
manner, with no depth extensions or reductions. The playing strength has not
been precisely evaluated, but it is somewhere between
[TSCP](http://www.tckerrigan.com/Chess/TSCP/) and
[faile](http://faile.sourceforge.net/).

It is available under the terms of the MIT license.

Hello Jason,

Lucas Monge http://lucaschess.pythonanywhere.com/ created a Windows x64 compile here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m6b5dpDAwT-MaAU2dtjWA99mR48Zr8Zy/view

Done using last sources.

Could you contact Günther from RWBC http://www.rwbc-chess.de/ please? He has a question that concerns the current Snowy revision. The German umlaut/ vowel mutation ü ( = u + e) cf. http://www.accentcodes.com/ = Alt + 0252

Last not least: cf. ComputerChess Wikipedia http://computer-chess.org/doku.php?id=home and http://computer-chess.org/doku.php?id=computer_chess:wiki:lists:gui_protocol_support_list

Yes, I didn't have the issues functionality enabled at first, I didn't think there would be any interest in my little engine. :) But it has been enabled for a couple days now.

I can't say anything about revision numbers of prior builds of Snowy: I have tagged a release v0.1 which I regard as the only official release so far: https://github.com/JasonCreighton/snowy/releases/tag/v0.1

Oops! You're totally right, it is a noreply address, of course it won't work. I'm quite new to Github and for some reason I saw the ID baked into the email and assumed Github was running an email relay. Sorry about that. I guess just open an issue for problems you have with the engine.
