chess_game
chess_game
is a lightweight, bitboard‐based chess engine written in Rust. It provides:
- A compact internal representation (10‐bit moves, 5‐bit piece IDs, 6‐bit squares)
- Full game‐rule enforcement (legal move generation, special moves, check/checkmate/stalemate)
- A simple CLI for playing via “long algebraic” input (e.g.
e2e4
,undo
,quit
) - A public Rust API (
ChessEngine
trait +GameCore
implementation) for embedding in other applications - Zobrist hashing and a basic transposition table (for future search‐engine use)
