Yonder Chess

  24 Dec 2022 1:30 am better  uci  handling, using  istringstream  to parse commands better Mate Score output added Mate in 2, 3, and 4 tests (and they pass! but slow) inlined some functions (maybe faster now?) added Search Type:  Infinite ,  Fixed Depth ,  Time per Move ,  Time per Game ,  Ponder  and  Mate . Not all of them are working yet :') 3 am movelist.reserve(40) : doing this made move generation ~1.5x faster! Now reserving in all vectors. modularized move generation added  get_threats  function

18 Dec 2022 2:40 am planning to make a major change in the codebase: using  enum  instead of  char  for pieces. This is to elude branching in code? added best move tester solved a small bug in move generation 5 am completed the change to  enum  for pieces maybe the engine is now faster? (because we can now access piece-square tables directly using index without branching)
