Keel-billed Toucan [1]

Tucano, (TucanoChess)
a Chess Engine Communication Protocol compliant open source engine under the GPL written by Alcides Schulz in C. Tucano was first released in September 2012 [2].

Description

Bitboard Infrastructure

Tucano's bitboard infrastructure favors memory versus computation, with the option to gain some linear speedup if that becomes a bottleneck, i.e. using specific processor instructions. However, on recent Intel processors with huge caches, this might be rather insignificant concerning the strength of the engine. Tucano uses magic bitboards to determine sliding piece attacks.

Search

Tucano's search applies PVS alpha-beta with transposition table inside an iterative deepening framework without aspiration windows. Since version 7.00, Tucano performs Lazy SMP using a shared hash table [3].

Evaluation

The evaluation features most common terms [4] with speculative calculation and aggregation of opening and endgame scores. The final score is interpolated by game phase within a tapered evaluation, with an additional draw adjustment in pawnless endgames.
