Iglo is a from scratch chess engine build in Rust. It uses the UCI command set so it can be
played against locally using tools like cutechess or online on sites like lichess that allow
users to register their own bots. If you fancy playing a game you can over at https://lichess.org/@/IgloBot. As the creator, I can confidently say that Iglo is capable enough to outplay me consistently... but maybe that's just due to my poor chess skills :^)?
The engine make use of these well established techniques:
- LVA-MVV move ordering
- Negamax with alpha beta pruning
- Transposition Table
- Custom opening book format
- Quiescence search
