Contribution to Nim language chess engine.

**Contribute to *Gyatso* – A Nim-Based Open Source Chess Engine**

Hey everyone,

I’ve made my chess engine project, **[Gyatso](https://github.com/GyatsoYT/GyatsoChess)**, open source. It’s a fast, modular, and evolving chess engine written entirely in **Nim**. Built from scratch, Gyatso aims to push the limits of what’s possible in Nim for chess AI.

**Why Gyatso?**
Gyatso is a clean, self-made engine designed for performance, clarity, and extensibility. It's an ideal project for those interested in engine development, systems programming, or Nim as a language.

**Current Highlights:**
- Bitboard architecture
- Legal move generation
- Alpha-beta search with foundational heuristics
- Fully modular codebase (eval, movegen, TT, time management, etc.)
- Perft testing and benchmarking

**What I’m Looking For:**
- Nim programmers who want a serious project to contribute to
- Chess engine developers ready to build or enhance core features
- Contributors interested in optimization, evaluation tuning, or adding advanced logic
- Anyone passionate about chess AI and open-source development

**Planned Features:**
- Neural network integration (Arraymancer-based)
- Smarter time management
- Opening book and endgame tablebase support
- Advanced move ordering and search heuristics
- Elo tracking and self-play training tools

**GitHub:** [https://github.com/GyatsoYT/GyatsoChess](https://github.com/GyatsoYT/GyatsoChess)
**License:** Custom license (see repo for details)

Whether you’re here for Nim, chess engines, or both—this is your chance to help shape a serious engine from the ground up. Contributions, feedback, and collaboration are all welcome.

Let me know if you’re interested or want to get involved!

Another Nim engine on the scene... fun!

Although I'd like to question the following:

The first major open-source chess engine in Nim, featuring advanced search, sophisticated evaluation, and full UCI compatibility.

Nalwald (https://github.com/tsoj/Nalwald) has existed for a couple of years and Heimdall (https://git.nocturn9x.space/heimdall-engine/heimdall) (my own engine) is a little over a year old. So not exactly right

that's certainly an _interesting_ license you've attached to your project
