Matto - a chess player written in C

Matto is a very simple chess player I started writing ages ago when learning the C programming language. Hopefully I will be able to fix it a bit, make it stronger and more usable.

Build and run

$ cd <path>
$ make
$ ./matto

Commands

command	description
d	display the chessboard
quit or exit	shut down the program

go	turns on the automatic player
?	(while thinking) stops the search
getback	gets back one move in the game
sd <n>	sets the search depth to <n> moves
