Fizbo
Fizbo,
a Chess Engine Communication Protocol, and since version 1.5, UCI compliant [1] chess engine by Youri Matiounine, first released in May 2014 [2], apparently bitboard based, requiring x86-64 bitscan forward [3] and taking advantage from population count instruction. Since version 1.2, Fizbo performs a parallel search based on a version of enhanced PV splitting algorithm, only one split-point is active at a time, along with iterative deepening, since 1.3 with aspiration windows. Syzygy Bases with up to five pieces were used since version 1.4 released in May 2015. The transposition table with dense 8 byte entries is used also in quiescence search [4].
