New engine: seeChess

[Guenther]

To remove the ambiguity of naming (SEE is a little to close to See imo) I renamed the engine to "CeeChess"

I added the tapered eval with some new piece square tables (Ludmyil's PSQTs are great!) and got an extra 100 ELO selfplay.

@Guenther, would you be able to change the name in the spreadsheet? Sorry for the inconvenience, I just feel like it should fix the name issue

Will do so today :)

BTW you did not mention (neither in your github) that it is UCI and XB capable.

Hi all!

I just got into the hobby of chess engines, and I am finally happy enough with the start of this engine to release it. It is heavily based on Vice by bluefever, but it should play around 2200 ELO. It is written in C, and is UCI compliant.

Any feedback you have is much appreciated!

Hi Tom,

What country are you from? I have guesses but it is better to know for sure.

Well, you could also trust the XB/UCI chronology.

Thanks Günther. I trust you but forgot to check.

Günther is correct, I am from the US.
Also, it should now say the engine is compatible with both UCI and Xboard/Winboard. I didn't put that in until now because I was contemplating removing XBoard support.
