kandi X-RAY | perft Summary
A move generater / perft tool by Ankan Banerjee. main purpose of this project is to understand/benchmark speeds of different move generation approaches. 14 Apr 2013: version 1: pseudo-legal 0x88 move generator. Runs at about 58 Million moves per second on 3GHz core 2 (single threaded). 15 Apr 2013: lookup table based move generation Added lookup table based move generation - currently only for sliding pieces (bishop, rook and queen). Unfortunately lookup table based move generation is marginally slower than pure 088 move generation.

QUESTION
I am currently developing a chess engine in C++, and I am in the process of debugging my move generator. For this purpose, I wrote a simple perft()
function:
ANSWER
Answered 2022-Feb-22 at 01:14This is how you would like to debug your move generator using perft.
- Given startpos as p1, generate perft(3) for your engine and sf. (you did that)
- Now check any move that have different nodes, you pick a2a3. (you did that)
- Given startpos + a2a3 as p2, generate perft(2) for your engine and sf. (you partially did this)
- Now check any move that have different nodes in step 3. Let's say move x.
- Given startpos + a2a3 + x as p3, generate perft(1) for your engine and sf.
Since that is only perft(1) by this time you will be able to figure out the wrong move or the missing move from your generator. Setup that last position or p3 on the board and see the wrong/missing moves from your engine compared to sf perft(1) result.
