Description

So far, Tinman is quite rudimentary and lacks state of the art search techniques and evaluation terms - and has therefore huge potential to improve further. It represents the board with a little-endian file-rank mapped bitboard definition, and applies Hyperbola Quintessence to determine sliding piece attacks 2. Search is plain alpha-beta with transposition table, check extension and quiescence inside the iterative deepening loop 3, considering material and piece-square tables as evaluation terms at the leaves 4.
