TurboChess library

TurboChess is a chess move generator. It supports:

• PEXT bitboards (emulated)
• Make and Undo Position
• Zobrist hashing
• FEN support

To get started, create a new Position and now you can work with legal moves

Example 1: Get the count of legal moves

let pos: Position = Position::default(); // Loads the initial position
// Or you can also use another position
// let pos: Position = Position::from_str("r3k2r/p1ppqpb1/bn2pnp1/3PN3/1p2P3/2N2Q1p/PPPBBPPP/R3K2R w KQkq - 0 1").unwrap();

let legals: MoveList = pos.legal(); // Gets all legal moves in the position
for mv in legals {
   println!("{mv}"); // Prints the move in the UCI format
}

println!("Legal count: {}", legals.count());

Example 2: Test all legal moves

let mut pos: Position = Position::default();
let legals: MoveList = pos.legal(); // Gets all legal moves in the position
for mv in legals {
   pos.make_move(mv);
   println!("Doing stuff with move...")
   pos.undo_move(mv);
}
println!("Finished!")

Example 3: Play a random move

let mut pos: Position = Position::default();
let legals: MoveList = pos.legal();

// Gets a random move
let mut rng = rand::thread_rng();
let index = rng.gen_range(0..legals.count());
let mv = legals.get(index);

println!("Move: {mv}");
pos.make_move(mv);
println!("{pos}");
println!("New FEN: {}", pos.fen());
