=Description=
Android-Chess is a [[Bitboards|bitboard]] engine using [[Rotated Bitboards|rotated bitboards]] to determine [[Sliding Piece Attacks|sliding piece attacks]], and does not take advantage of the [[First Rank Attacks#TheOuterSquares|outer square optimization]] using an 8-bit occupied index with four lookup tables of 256*64*8 or 128 KiB each, thus 1/2 MiB in total. [[Alpha-Beta|Alpha-beta]] is embedded inside an [[Iterative Deepening|iterative deepening]] loop without [[Aspiration Windows|aspiration]]. [[Evaluation]] considers [[Material|material]] and various [[Pawn Structure|pawn structure]] and piece terms.
