Cassandra [1]

Cassandre,
an Chess Engine Communication Protocol and UCI compliant open source chess engine under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) by Raphael Grundrich, Thomas Adolph and Jean-Francois Romang, written in C++ and first released in March 2003. Cassandre started as a student project at Louis Pasteur University, Strasbourg [2].

Description

Cassandre is a bitboard engine using rotated bitboards with 256 occupancy states to determine sliding piece attacks, bitscan aka first- and last one by conditional 16-bit lookups, and population count by eight byte lookups credited to Dann Corbit [3]. Cassandre greatly lacks any move ordering except generating captures before quiet moves. The structure of the move generation serialization loops are an instructive counter example, of how one should not write a bitboard engine.
