Hi everyone!
I'm Luca and I have recently developed a chess engine in C++. I started 2 years ago, when I learned Python and found out about python-chess library. I managed to make an engine, but it was too too slow. So, I decided to start from scratch an engine in C++, which proved to be fun, and I countinued to this day. Of course, this is not my first version, but is one I'm ok with. (Other versions have major bugs...)
Github link: https://github.com/lucametehau/CloverEngine.
From testing, I could say that Clover is 2800+ (maybe 2900+, not too sure).
I would love to hear your thoughts. Feel free to criticize me as well!

Hi Luca,
I'm really admired by your Clover 2.4 engine!
I've played a superblitz between it and all the top engines and it scored very well (18 points 43°/61) reaching an ELO of 3300 ELO, please continue to improve it

Hi Luca,
After reading your README.md file, Clover compiles fine on my Raspberry Pi Linux armv7 by just removing -static from the Makefile, I left -pthread in there.
Thanks,
Al.
