Description

SharpChess uses the 0x88 board representation to utilize PVS within an iterative deepening framework. The transposition table is indexed and verified by Zobrist keys, move ordering considers hash move, MVV/LVA, SEE, killer heuristic and history heuristic, and beside quiescence search, selectivity is applied by adaptive null move pruning and extending on checks, recaptures of pieces with same value, single replies, and pawn pushes to the seventh rank.
