Freyr,
a WinBoard compliant open source chess engine by Andrei Fortuna, written in C++, intended as a test ground for various chess algorithms, first released in February 2000.

Description

Freyr is a bitboard engine and uses rotated bitboards to determine sliding piece attacks. The search is PVS [2] with null move pruning inside an aspiration window iterative deepening framework with transposition table, using several move ordering heuristics, such as killer, history and countermove, as well as SEE to order captures. Lazy evaluation considers incremental updated material- and piece-square table scores and cached pawn structure stuff. Evaluation further includes king safety and passed pawns as most dominant terms [3].
