Kiwi

a Chess Engine Communication Protocol compliant open source chess engine under the GNU General Public License, written in C++ by Alessandro Scotti. Executables are available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS. Kiwi uses bitboards as basic board representation, and generates sliding piece attacks with rotated bitboards. It performs MTD(f) with null move pruning, killer and history heuristic, and transposition table. The evaluation considers development, Fruit like mobility, and pawn structure utilizing a pawn hash table, with focus on passed pawns and pawn races.
