shakmaty

A Rust library for chess move generation

Features

• Generate legal moves:

  ```rust use shakmaty::Chess; use shakmaty::Position; use shakmaty::MoveList;

  let pos = Chess::default(); // starting position

  let mut legals = MoveList::new(); pos.legalmoves(&mut legals); asserteq!(legals.len(), 20); ```

• Play moves:

  ```rust use shakmaty::Move; use shakmaty::Role; use shakmaty::square;

  let pos = pos.play(&Move::Normal { role: Role::Pawn, from: square::E2, to: square::E4, capture: None, promotion: None, }).expect("1. e4 is legal"); ```

• Detect game end conditions: pos.is_checkmate(), pos.is_stalemate(), pos.is_insufficient_material(), pos.outcome().

• Read and write FENs, SANs and UCIs.

• Supports Standard chess and these variants: Crazyhouse, King Of The Hill, Giveaway, ThreeCheck, Horde, Atomic, and RacingKings.

• Bitboards and PDEP attack tables.
