First release of Pastèque 0.0.0 chess engine. It currently uses random weights in its evaluation function and supports the following search features:

  • iterative deepening, fail-soft alpha-beta, quiescence at the horizon
  • legal move generation at every node; magic bitboards for the sliders, or pext
  • captures ordered MVV/LVA-style then promotions, insertion sorted, on the random piece values
  • evaluation tapered between an opening and a closing set of tables
  • the fifty-move rule, and a lone-minor endgame scored as a draw
  • soft and hard time limits, the clock polled every 2048 nodes
