I just published a fix for the stdint issue. Thanks for pointing it out.

Hello everybody,

I recently published a new UCI engine called Spartan. Spartan is the "successor" to an engine I published 2 years ago called JFresh. I haven't tested this on a windows computer yet so if anybody encounters errors while trying to compile/run it on a windows please let me know ...

Sorry for not making my engine windows compatible in the first place :(
I only have a mac to test on currently and posix threads are the only threads I know in plain C.
Honestly I'm a little surprised that my engine was noticed so quickly. If you have any feedback at all feel free to let me know ...

Ok, thanks for your help! I'll try changing my engine so that it only uses IID in those specific circumstances.

I recently added IID into my chess engine. I've noticed that it only starts to payoff at large depths, and actually makes the program slower at shallower depths. Is this normal?

For example, with IID turned off it takes my engine ~5 seconds to search to a depth of 10 from the start position. With ...

Hello, I have a question concerning "saving" info about your board representation before making a move. I am wondering what is a good way to do this? Right now I have an array of structs of type Save_t, and when the make move function is called it adds a new "save" to the top of the save stack. My ...

I finally figured out the problem! When I give it the FEN rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/4P3/8/PPPP 1 PPP/RNBQKBNR b KQkq - 0 1 Then for some reason when I run the program in the debugger it interprets the 1 (in bold) just fine, but when running in terminal it interprets it as a 10! This is using the basic ...

This is my Fen parsing code. In case you're wondering, board is a struct.

EDIT: One really weird thing I noticed, if I add this code right before the parsing loop: Then it works fine! But as far as I can tell, this loop does absolutely nothing.

No, unfortunately i didn't :(. I've spent quite a while fiddling with it and I just cannot seem to get it to work right. It works fine in the debugger in Xcode but it simply wont work when I run it in terminal or with a gui. It really is very strange. I'll keep working on it though and ill post if I ...
