I have been wanting to learn rust for a while and recently decided to just sit down and make something. For some reason I decided a chess engine would be a good first project despite having no experience with either rust or chess engines... Anyway here it is

Claude Shannon calculated that there are around 10^120 possible games of chess in his seminal paper Programming a Computer for Playing Chess in 1950. In Rage Against the Machines, Nate Silver quotes Diego Rasskin-Gutman, who said:

Given unlimited resources, it actually doesn't take many lines of code to calculate every legal variation of chess. Here, the Python package python-chess is used for board representation and legal move generation.

The evaluation of a chess board is one of the things that's kept me interested in chess engines. Evaluation rules are easy to add and take away. I refactored the code from Go to Python to be able to prototype different rules faster.

If you play in a tournament, annotate all your games as deeply as possible. Not just moves, but your thoughts and emotions during the game. Only AFTER you do this should you have your engine look for tactical misses.

yep.. this is why calculating moves ahead is important. be careful if the engine plays moves where the piece/queen/pawn can be captured its probably a trap or it is a sacriface for important attack against kingside/queenside/attack on your king

Well if you are a strong player and you really know what you are doing that sacrifacing is okay. but if you aren't very good chess player than i reccomend not sacrifacing. somethimes down a pawn could lose the game

Actually, the easiest way I've found to beat an engine is to get it outside of its process tree as quickly as possible. Following main lines and book moves is the last thing you want to do if you are facing a really strong engine, lol.

ok now listen to this i got down to 950 rated in sence everyone been using very powerful engines i mean 2700 and up no way you can win . like out of the last 60 games i only played one real guy he lasted 5 moves lol . when i do win its on time or they slip and won't even try to make a move on there own. don't know why i already know they can't play whats to hide lol. but the easyest way to win is move super fast make um slip . unless they have the auto engine. iv only seen 2 with it today so thats not a real problem YET LOL

I have developed a chess engine in python using minimax algorithm and i have also used Alpha-Beta Pruning to optimize it further. Currently i am searching to a depth of 4 which isnt a lot but it still takes 10 - 60 s to think of a move.

You're probably just making this in Python for fun and experimentations, so I do encourage you to try this in Python first. But if this was for serious usage, you may want to implement this in C or C++, or use engines like Stockfish.

I know that one. Thanks for the suggestion. That was a utility package for representing boards and so on, and the board representation here could be useful, but this was not specifically for building a UCI chess engine or something. Most chess engines have their own board representation and move generation. This package contains utility for using other engines, but not necessarily for building one.

One particular use of metaprogramming I was thinking was searching for patch that gains elo, my idea was that there would be a huge search tree searched with lots of nodes (Using long time), then compute which node was actually searched with each patch. Then, we can search for variants of the engine that searches the right branch.

A chess engine is usually a back end with a command-line interface with no graphics or windowing. Engines are usually used with a front end, a windowed graphical user interface such as Chessbase or WinBoard that the user can interact with via a keyboard, mouse or touchscreen. This allows the user to play against multiple engines without learning a new user interface for each, and allows different engines to play against each other.

The meaning of the term "chess engine" has evolved over time. In 1986, Linda and Tony Scherzer entered their program Bebe into the 4th World Computer Chess Championship, running it on "Chess Engine," their brand name for the chess computer hardware[2] made, and marketed by their company Sys-10, Inc.[3] By 1990 the developers of Deep Blue, Feng-hsiung Hsu and Murray Campbell, were writing of giving their program a 'searching engine,' apparently referring to the software rather than the hardware.[4] In December 1991, Computer-schach & Spiele referred to Chessbase's recently released Fritz as a 'Schach-motor,' the German translation for 'chess engine.[5] By early 1993, Marty Hirsch was drawing a distinction between commercial chess programs such as Chessmaster 3000 or Battle Chess on the one hand, and 'chess engines' such as ChessGenius or his own MChess Pro on the other. In his characterization, commercial chess programs were low in price, had fancy graphics, but did not place high on the SSDF (Swedish Chess Computer Association) rating lists while engines were more expensive, and did have high ratings.[6]

In 1994, Shay Bushinsky was working on an early version of his Junior program. He wanted to focus on the chess playing part rather than the graphics, and so asked Tim Mann how he could get Junior to communicate with Winboard. Tim's answer formed the basis for what became known as the Chess Engine Communication Protocol or Winboard engines, originally a subset of the GNU Chess command line interface.[7]

Also in 1994, Stephen J. Edwards released the Portable Game Notation (PGN) specification. It mentions PGN reading programs not needing to have a "full chess engine." It also mentions three "graphical user interfaces" (GUI): XBoard, pgnRead and Slappy the database.[8]

By the mid-2000s, engines had become so strong that they were able to beat even the best human players. In 2005, Michael Adams, a world top 10 player at the time, was comprehensively beaten 5 - by Hydra, drawing only one of the six games.[9] Except for entertainment purposes, especially using engines with limited strength, matches between humans and engines are now rare; engines are increasingly regarded as tools for analysis rather than as opponents.

In 2000, Stefan Meyer-Kahlen and Franz Huber released the Universal Chess Interface, a more detailed protocol that introduced a wider set of features. Chessbase soon after dropped support for Winboard engines, and added support for UCI to their engine GUI's and Chessbase programs. Most of the top engines are UCI these days: Stockfish, Komodo, Leela Chess Zero, Houdini, Fritz 15-16, Rybka, Shredder, Fruit, Critter, Ivanhoe and Ruffian.

From 1998, the German company Millenium 2000 briefly moved from dedicated chess computers into the software market, developing the Millennium Chess System (MCS) protocol for a series of CD's containing ChessGenius or Shredder, but after 2001 ceased releasing new software.[10] A more longstanding engine protocol has been used by the Dutch company, Lokasoft,[11] which eventually took over the marketing of Ed Schrder's Rebel.

Chess engines increase in playing strength continually. This is partly due to the increase in processing power that enables calculations to be made to ever greater depths in a given time. In addition, programming techniques have improved, enabling the engines to be more selective in the lines that they analyze and to acquire a better positional understanding. A chess engine often uses a vast previously-computed opening "book" to increase its playing strength for the first several moves, up to possibly 20 moves or more in deeply analyzed lines.[citation needed]

Some chess engines use endgame tablebases to increase their playing strength during the endgame. An endgame tablebase includes all possible endgame positions with a small amount of material. Each position is conclusively determined as a win, loss, or draw for the player whose turn it is to move, and the number of moves to the end with best play by both sides. The tablebase identifies for every position the move which will win the fastest against an optimal defense, or the move that will lose the slowest against an optimal offense. Such tablebases are available for all chess endgames with seven pieces or fewer (trivial endgame positions are excluded, such as six white pieces versus a lone black king).[12][13]

When the maneuvering in an ending to achieve an irreversible improvement takes more moves than the horizon of calculation of a chess engine, an engine is not guaranteed to find the best move without the use of an endgame tablebase, and in many cases can fall foul of the fifty-move rule as a result. Many engines use permanent brain (continuing to calculate during the opponent's turn) as a method to increase their strength.

Distributed computing is also used to improve the software code of chess engines. In 2013, the developers of the Stockfish chess playing program started using distributed computing to make improvements in the software code.[14][15][16] As of June 2017[update], a total of more than 745 years of CPU time has been used to play more than 485 million chess games, with the results being used to make small and incremental improvements to the chess-playing software.[17] In 2019, Ethereal author Andrew Grant started the distributed computing testing framework OpenBench, based upon Stockfish's testing framework,[18][19] and it is now the most widely-used testing framework for chess engines.[citation needed]

The results of computer tournaments give one view of the relative strengths of chess engines. However, tournaments do not play a statistically significant number of games for accurate strength determination. In fact, the number of games that need to be played between fairly evenly matched engines, in order to achieve significance, runs into the thousands and is, therefore, impractical within the framework of a tournament.[22] Most tournaments also allow any types of hardware, so only engine/hardware combinations are being compared. e24fc04721
