Just a nice comment!

Hello, maksim. Looks very good! I have been looking for a good but relatively small and simple JS chess engine that communicates via UCI. I will follow your progress (almost done?) and then use it to "tinker around" when you are done. Have you also made a YouTube series of this? (Your YouTube tutorials are great!). Thanks again!

Hi kenpchess

Thanks for your feedback.

re: I have been looking for a good but relatively small and simple JS chess engine that communicates via UCI

• yes, UCI protocol is now fully implemented, I've just started first tournament WukongJS vs TSCP

re: I will follow your progress (almost done?) and then use it to "tinker around" when you are done

• almost done regarding initial release. Still fighting a couple of rare but nasty bugs - one in timing, another in GUI square highlighting. "Tinkering around" is what it's created for))) so go ahead. It also has public API. I didn't yet provide the docs but code is self explanatory.
  re: Have you also made a YouTube series of this?
• I have tutorial series on C version of wukong (move generator only): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrLZVaQood0&list=PLmN0neTso3JzhJP35hwPHJi4FZgw5Ior0
  Wukong JS has only progress overview videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uA22IJSiEyc&list=PLmN0neTso3JyHz4YvcQrfS7pd9pC_BFBc

I would probably create a series on how to use Wukong's public API, so it can be used as a library in other chess related projects.

@kenpchess initial release is done, feel free to check that out

maksim, just looked at the latest code. Just beautiful code! I really like how you are now handling the API and the UCI interface! You should be really proud of this code and the whole project! Thanks so much1

@kenpchess thanks for your feed back, I'm flattered) Now the challenge is to optimize the search - that's what I'm working on now.
Btw in browser if you open developer tools it would be printing PV during iterative deepening.
Have fun with experimenting)
