Crate stockfish

Expand description

stockfish is a lightweight wrapper library for the Stockfish chess engine.

Creation & Setup — Pass the path to the binary executable to Stockfish::new, and then call Stockfish::setup_for_new_game to ensure that it is ready for further commands.
Position — Use methods like Stockfish::set_fen_position and Stockfish::play_moves to configure the chess position that Stockfish is working with.
Compute — Using methods such as Stockfish::go or Stockfish::go_for, prompt Stockfish to start calculating given the current chess position.
Output — Accessory types have been included (EngineEval, EvalType, EngineOutput) to structure the output from Stockfish after it has concluded its calculations.

Structs§

EngineEval: Represents the evaluation returned from the engine. Includes EvalType and a numerical score value.
EngineOutput: The sum of the output from the engine. Includes EngineEval and a string representation of the engine’s returned best move (given in long algebraic notation; e.g., "e2e4").
Stockfish: An interface for interacting with a Stockfish process.

EvalType: The category of evaluation returned by stockfish. Either Centipawns or Mate.
