Struct chess::Board

pub struct Board { /* fields omitted */ }

A representation of a chess board. That's why you're here, right?

Methods

impl Board

fn new() -> Board

Construct a new Board that is completely empty. Note: This does NOT give you the initial position. Just a blank slate.

fn from_fen(fen: String) -> Option<Board>

Construct a board from a FEN string.

fn status(&self) -> BoardStatus

Is this game Ongoing, is it Stalemate, or is it Checkmate?

fn combined(&self) -> BitBoard

Grab the "combined" BitBoard. This is a BitBoard with every piece

fn color_combined(&self, color: Color) -> BitBoard

Grab the "color combined" BitBoard. This is a BitBoard with every piece of a particular color.

fn king_square(&self, color: Color) -> Square

Give me the Square the color king is on.

fn pieces(&self, piece: Piece) -> BitBoard

Grab the "pieces" BitBoard. This is a BitBoard with every piece of a particular type.

fn castle_rights(&self, color: Color) -> CastleRights

Grab the CastleRights for a particular side.

fn add_castle_rights(&mut self, color: Color, add: CastleRights)

Add castle rights for a particular side.

fn remove_castle_rights(&mut self, color: Color, remove: CastleRights)

Remove castle rights for a particular side.

fn side_to_move(&self) -> Color

Who's turn is it?

fn my_castle_rights(&self) -> CastleRights

Grab my CastleRights.

fn add_my_castle_rights(&mut self, add: CastleRights)

Add to my CastleRights.

fn remove_my_castle_rights(&mut self, remove: CastleRights)

Remove some of my CastleRights.

fn their_castle_rights(&self) -> CastleRights

My opponents CastleRights.

fn add_their_castle_rights(&mut self, add: CastleRights)

Ad to my opponents CastleRights

fn remove_their_castle_rights(&mut self, remove: CastleRights)

Remove some of my opponents CastleRights.

fn set_piece(&self, piece: Piece, color: Color, square: Square) -> Option<Board>

For a chess UI: set a piece on a particular square

fn clear_square(&self, square: Square) -> Option<Board>

For a chess UI: clear a particular square

fn null_move(&self) -> Option<Board>

Switch the color of the player without actually making a move

fn is_sane(&self) -> bool

Does this board "make sense"? Do all the pieces make sense, do the bitboards combine correctly, etc? This is for sanity checking.

fn get_hash(&self) -> u64

Get a hash of the board

fn get_pawn_hash(&self) -> u64

Get a pawn hash of the board (a hash that only changes on color change and pawn moves)

fn piece_on(&self, square: Square) -> Option<Piece>

What piece is on a particular Square? Is there even one?

fn enumerate_moves(&self, moves: &mut [ChessMove; 256]) -> usize

Give me all the legal moves for this board.

Note: You may want to build a MoveGen structure to iterate over the moves instead.

fn en_passant(self) -> Option<Square>

Give me the en_passant square, if it exists

fn legal(&self, m: ChessMove) -> bool

Is a particular move legal?

fn make_move(&self, m: ChessMove) -> Board

Make a chess move

fn perft(&self, depth: u64) -> u64

Run a perft-test.

fn perft_brute_force(&self, depth: u64) -> u64

Run a perft-test using brute force move generation

fn perft_cache(&self, depth: u64, cache_size_per_depth: usize) -> u64

Run a perft test with a cache table

fn pinned(&self) -> BitBoard

fn checkers(&self) -> BitBoard

fn legal_king_move(&self, dest: Square) -> bool

Is a particular king move legal?

fn legal_ep_move(&self, source: Square, dest: Square) -> bool

Is a particular en-passant capture legal?

fn perft_test(fen: String, depth: u64, result: u64)

Run every type of perft test, and panic! if the leaf-node count of any version is not equal to result.
