Simple project to learn about chess programming, Rust and Tauri.

How to build

Run cargo tauri dev from src-tauri to build and run the UI, which will allow you to play against the engine.

Features

• Generates and verifies all the legal moves, including en-passant, castling and promotion.
• Evalutation using alpha-beta pruning.
• Bitboard attack tables.
• UI using Tauri and React + Typescript.
• pgn2yaml: converts PGN games to YAML.
