 * Home * Engines * NG-play**

a relatively simple, open source engine compliant to the Chess Engine Communication Protocol written in C by George Georgopoulos. NG-play uses a 10x12 board, and performs a negamax alpha-beta search with iterative deepening and null move pruning. Evaluation considers material and mobility in a first pass, and focuses on king safety in the middlegame, as well as passed pawn evaluation in a second pass.
