Pleco Engine
Pleco Engine is a chess Engine inspired by Stockfish, written entirely in Rust.
This project aims to utilize the efficiency of Rust to create a Chess Bot with the speed of modern chess engines.
This project is split into two crates, pleco_engine (the current folder), which contains the
UCI (Universal Chess Interface) compatible Engine & AI, and pleco, which contains the library functionality.
The overall goal for this project is to utilize the efficiency of Rust to create a Chess AI matching the speed of modern chess engines.
Planned & Implemented features
The AI aims to have the following features:
- Alpha-Beta pruning
- Multi-threaded search with rayon.rs
- Queiscience-search
- MVV-LVA sorting
- Iterative Deepening
- Aspiration Windows
- Futility Pruning
- Transposition Tables
- Null Move Heuristic
- Killer Moves
Standalone Installation and Use
Currently, Pleco's use as a standalone program is limited in functionality. A UCI client is needed to properly interact with the program. As a recommendation, check out Arena.
Firstly, clone the repo and navigate into the created folder with the following commands:
$ git clone https://github.com/sfleischman105/Pleco --branch master
$ cd Pleco/
Once inside the pleco directory, build the binaries using cargo:
$ cargo build --release
The compiled program will appear in ./target/release/.
Pleco can now be run with a ./Pleco on Linux or a ./Pleco.exe on Windows.
