shakmaty

A Rust library for chess move generation

Features

• Generate legal moves:

  ```rust use shakmaty::{Chess, Position, MoveList};

  let pos = Chess::default();

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

• Play moves:

  ```rust use shakmaty::{Move, Role}; use shakmaty::square;

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

• 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 Chess960. Provides vocabulary to implement other variants.

• Bitboards and compact fixed shift black magic attack tables.
