superpawn | A readable , experimental , and not very serious UCI

superpawn is a C++ library. superpawn has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Superpawn is capable of making many fascinating chess moves, many of which are legal. It beats its author handily at the game, which is not terribly surprising since its author is a lifelong patzer. Superpawn is an excellent example of the "objects gone wild" style of programming, in which Everything Is An Object. Even the pieces themselves are objects; they know how to move, capture, etc. This of course slows down the move generation and evaluation process immensely, making this program irredeemably slow in tournament conditions. However, its logic is easy to follow and extend as you see fit. Superpawn requires a [C++11] compiler with support for threading. It builds and runs on Windows, Linux and MacOS systems, and compiles under Microsoft, gcc and clang compilers. A [CMake] implementation is provided to ease compilation on arbitrary targets. If you are compiling with gcc, Superpawn requires gcc 3.8.2 or higher to compile. Earlier versions don’t support all C++11 features, and your compilation will fail.
