  • perftree

    Perft debugger. Compare your chess engine to Stockfish and quickly find discrepancies in move generation.

    Project mention: The importance of Perft -- a debugging story | /r/chessprogramming | 2023-01-25

    I eventually realised that the only solution was to compare my move generator to an actual working one, and after a bit of digging, I came across Adam Gaussman's [perftree](https://github.com/agausmann/perftree) debugger. It seemed just the ticket, though I'd have to add some new code to my project to tie into his script, and to handle its move name convention. In the end I just used what perftree does in the background -- standard Stockfish's command line interface. I still had to rewrite my Perft test to spit out the counts under each top level move, so I could compare it to Stockfish, but this wasn't too hard.
