Priessnitz is a free UCI chess engine. It does not include its own graphical interface but any UCI compatible GUI (e.g., Cute Chess, Arena) will work.

The inspiration for Priessnitz started near the end of 2022. After watching Sebastian Lague's Chess Coding Adventure, I was motivated to experiment with chess programming myself and soon entered the rabbit hole...

The name is inspired by a small local stream. Nothing deep, I just thought, it sounded nice.

You can build Priessnitz using the gcc compiler by running

make

Without the amazing Chess Programming Wiki and numerous open source engines, most importantly Stockfish, Ethereal, Pirarucu and Blunder, Priessnitz would not exist.
