Shrike, a WinBoard compliant private chess engine by Dan Newman, written in C++. Shrike applies a non-rotated bitboard approach to frequently scan the board for sliding piece attack and move generation. Shrike played the first three CCT Tournaments, CCT1, CCT2, and CCT3. At CCT1, running on a Pentium III, 500 MHz, Shrike searched about 500,000 nodes per second.
