Home * Engines * Parrot



Parrot, a Chess Engine Communication Protocol compatible open source engine by Johanes Suhardjo, written in C. Parrot started in about 1994 from GNU Chess 4.0, and was completely rewritten in 2002 . Parrot evolved to a bitboard engine applying rotated bitboards for sliding piece attacks, first with an rudimentary evaluation with primitive king safety and piece-square tables, consistently adding new features and improving. In 2006, Johanes implemented to recognize expected node types based on Valavan Manohararajah's Masters thesis . By predicting those node types, he managed to improve pruning and shaved the search tree significantly.
