    If you'd like to reference something, my movegen crate cozy-chess does this. I also have a standalone reference implementation here as part of my magic bitboard article.

    https://github.com/ShailChoksi/lichess-bot is a straight forward way to use any UCI engine with lichess. There are also a few libraries for move generation mine: https://github.com/Disservin/chess-library , libchess: https://github.com/kz04px/libchess , surge: https://github.com/nkarve/surge . These are C++ ones, for rust theres https://github.com/analog-hors/cozy-chess . In python you could use python-chess but its incredibly slow for engine stuff writing your own will probably be faster if you know what you are doing.

    A while back, I got into computer chess. I used Jordan Bray's neat chess crate for move generation, and was pretty satisfied until I took a look at the code. It's pretty good and all, but... So. Much. unsafe. Out of a mix of frustration and curiosity, I made it my next project to create my own chess move generation library. So... here it is, I guess: https://github.com/analog-hors/cozy-chess/ It's my first crate, so feedback would be appreciated! It's currently being used in my (weak) chess engine Tantabus.

    Hey, author of Walleye here. Also learned rust by writing my own chess engine :). Played a game and it looks neat, really cool you deployed it on your own server with its own frontend.

    I have been wanting to learn rust for a while and recently decided to just sit down and make something. For some reason I decided a chess engine would be a good first project despite having no experience with either rust or chess engines... Anyway here it is
