MinimalChessEngine VS VkChess.net

MinimalChessEngine

After watching The Queen's Gambit on Netflix I got interested in chess. I played a bit against computer programs and it made me curious about writing my own chess engine. This repository and a series of small videos I upload to Youtube after each milestone are documenting my progress. (by lithander)

    If some peoples are interesting in beta testing of c.r.o.w., I've prepared several small [introductive](https://github.com/jpbruyere/Crow/wiki/Tutorials) tutorials. You may use the [ShowCase](https://github.com/jpbruyere/Crow/tree/master/Samples/ShowCase) in the sample directory to test IML (the ui language of crow) in live. The helloworld sample has a small howto for installation. That's the first time I try to present this lib, be tolerant if you find bugs, it's far from a release version. Any bug report or advice is welcome. If you want to see it integrated in a vulkan 3d application check [vkChess.net](https://github.com/jpbruyere/VkChess.net) (there's a binary win beta release). It's a [stockfish](https://stockfishchess.org/) client. For several simple example integrated with vulkan check [VkCrowWindow library](https://github.com/jpbruyere/VkCrowWindow). Thanks for any returns, even critics ;-)
