'''Movei''',<br/>
a [[WinBoard]] and [[UCI]] compliant chess engine by [[Uri Blass]]. Movei is written in [[C]] around a [[Move Generation#Legal|legal move generator]] and initial [[Perft]] framework, also gathering [[Attack and Defend Maps|attack]] and [[Mobility|mobility]] informations as used in [[Evaluation|evaluation]].
As mentioned by Uri, the evaluation of Movei is [[Path-Dependency|dependent on the path]] and not only on the [[Leaf Node|leaf position]] <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?topic_view=threads&p=115849&t=13559 Re: Methods to stably evaluate nodes?] by [[Uri Blass]], [[CCC]], May 05, 2007</ref>. The [[Transposition Table|transposition table]] was at least initially not used for pruning, but only for [[Move Ordering|move ordering]].
