IATHENA is a chess engine built in C++ using the UCI protocol. IATHENA is deployed on Lichess. If online, please feel free to drop a challenge.
My purposes are:
- Being able to play a game of standart chess, a long term goal is to play variant such as Chess960,
- Have an evaluation functions based on NN,
- Use a probabilistic Win/Draw/Loss metric,
- Explore game tree with NN.
- Create light board representation,
- Fast move generation.
