BikMove
All C++ source code of the checkers engine BikMove
has been written by Aart Bik
(except the endgame databases probing code, which is used with
kind permission of Martin Fierz).
The main features of BikMove are:
- Checkerboard compliant checkers engine.
- Iterative deepening with alpha-beta pruning.
- Ability to query endgame databases during search.
Additional options supported by the engine are:
- Configurable transposition table and endgame cache sizes.
- Developer menu "static evaluation" display.
