'''Ziggy''',<br/>
an [[UCI]] compliant [[:Category:Open Source|open source chess engine]] by [[Hrafn Eiríksson]], written in [[Java]].
Ziggy [[Board Representation|represents the board]] with [[Piece-Lists|piece-lists]] supported by [[Vector Attacks|15x8 vector attacks]], and applies state of the art [[Search|search]] enhancements like [[Null Move Pruning|null move pruning]], [[Late Move Reductions|late move reductions]], [[Multi-Cut|multi-cut]], [[Principal Variation Search|PVS]],
[[Static Exchange Evaluation|static exchange evaluation]] and a two-level [[Transposition Table|transposition table]],
and served as test-bed for search experiments as topic in Eiríksson's B.Sc. thesis ''Investigation of Multi-Cut Pruning in Game-Tree Search'' <ref>[[Hrafn Eiríksson]] ('''2011''').
