A downloadable Chess Engine for Windows

This is my chess engine- written in C#, from scratch. It's currently in development and will be updated as I improve this engine.

How to try it out yourself:

1. Unzip the file.

2. Find "Knight To C Sharp GUI.exe" inside the unzipped folder and double-click it.

Now the GUI program is open. You still need to enable the engine there.

Check the instructions below:

You click the "Settings" button, and you can toggle the white or black engine.

If you want to, you can also set the "Search Depth". I recommend using 6 (default).

Press 'space' to stop the search and let the engine make a move immediately.

On the main screen, you can find the "Load Position" button and an input field above it.

You can paste a FEN string (if you don't know what a FEN string is, just know that clicking the "Load Position" button with the empty input field will load the initial starting position.) in the input field and click the "Load Position" button to load it. 

Just note that you should always paste a "valid" FEN string(the position it represents should be able to be reached in a standard game of chess), otherwise, the GUI might crash.

Don't touch the "Engines" button since it is a work in progress and won't do anything.

The "Quit" button quits the application.
