What's new

After 0.4 version I decided to keep working on the next version but sadly I did something wrong with the git repo and I just f*ckep up the repo, some changes were lost in that but luckily it was't much and that was the reason that this project wasn't active


Added evasion move generation when in check
Some refactoring code, still needs more works
In Vice the materialDraw function was in eval, now I put it in the isDraw function
Added check extension
Eval is still the same

Tests says that is 60± ELO than 0.3

Hi Tony,

That's wonderful news. The thought you had abandoned your engine was bordering the unbearable. :)

Don't stop!
