Poppy

A free and lightweight UCI chess engine

$${\color{red} \text{Not yet ready for general use - Stay tuned for future updates!}}$$

Overview

Poppy is a lightweight chess engine written in Julia as part of a Bachelor's thesis project. Its primary focus is to provide a platform for easy experimentation and research in chess engine optimization. The engine is designed to be straightforward to understand while offering decent performance for analysis and testing purposes.

Current Status

The engine is still in the experimental phase and not yet ready for general use. The current releases catalog evaluation function models which are being tested independently of their integration into the engine’s search algorithm.

Future Plans

I plan to work towards a more stable release in the future!
