Internals

CuckooChess applies many of the standard methods for computer chess programs, such as iterative deepening, negascout, aspiration windows, quiescence search with SEE pruning and MVV/LVA move ordering, hash table, history heuristic, recursive null moves, futility pruning, late move reductions, opening book and magic bitboards. CuckooChess name was chosen because it's transposition table is based on Cuckoo hashing ^[3] .
