Chers is a chess engine written in Rust.

The engine uses:

• BitBoards to represent the board (although not yet using their potential for ray generation)
• the UCI protocol to communicate with the GUI
• iterative deepening as a time management strategy and base for the alpha-beta search
• captures first move ordering

• Chers is heavily inspired by rustic, which also helped with its great wiki
