Introducing Bitfoot

[zd3nik]

Today I put Bitfoot, my implementation of Clubfoot with bitboards, up on github:

https://github.com/zd3nik/Bitfoot

I haven't put up any binaries so you'll have to build it yourself if you want to try it out right away.

I'm not happy with the way I'm handling binaries for Clubfoot. So I'm looking for a better approach before putting up binaries for Bitfoot. I'd like to use github, but without including the binaries in the source project. So I'll be looking into what that will cost (if anything) and how well it integrates (automation etc). I'm open to suggestions if anyone has some.

Well, that was easy...

I'll do a release with windows binaries when I get home (where my windows machine is).

64-bit windows build has been added to the release. It will take some work (code changes) to get a 32-bit build for windows.

Sample run from STS rating. STS rating = 2189, the engine estimated rating probably is close to this value in CCRL 40/4.

Thanks for taking the time to do that and give me some feedback. It's much appreciated! I've updated the source code to correctly respond to the uci command. I'll try to get updated binaries posted later tonight.

I'm going to have to take a look at those test positions. Bitfoot's results are all over the map and quite a few are pretty lousy.
