PieceMeal v1.2.0

PieceMeal Chess Bot and Chess Library. This project contains 2 components, the chess programming library, and the chess bot. The core library is fully implemented in C. This is a robust and performant library that has been tested rigorously during the development of my chess bot.

Key Features

• Board Representation Uses 0x88 board representation and piece lists for fast performance.
• Move Generation A reliable move generation system, handling special moves such as castling and en passent.
• Chess Notation Parsing Integrated chess notation parsing tools.
• Chess Evaluation Functions for both static and dynamic analysis.
• Universal Chess Interface Chess Bot uses the Universal Chess Interface (UCI).

Whats New in v1.2.0

• Merged my chess bot from Chess Bot into the project.
• Replaced build process with a Unity build system
