A large chess programming community helped me a lot over last three years, now I want to give
it something back. Nibble chess is a simple console based chess program which can be extended
to UCI chess engine. It's not intended to be used by end users, but by beginner programmers
who looks for some sort of resources to get started with. I wish I could have such program
when just started to learn chess programming. The source is mostly based on H.G. Muller's ideas, as
they are implemented in his micro-Max engine.

There are various code snippets available in res/ folder:

    - pretty fast move generator/perft tester with piece lists
    - reimplementation of micro-Max's move generator in NASM assembly
    - FEN parser for nibble chess
    - very basic and raw implementation of UCI loop for nibble-chess
    - single file chess project template of my own design

on linux:
    gcc -Ofast nibble-chess.c -o nibble-chess

on windows:
    gcc.exe -std=c99 -Ofast nibble-chess.c -o nibble-chess.exe

If you're on windows please compile nibble-chess(ASCII).c file due to I shamely
don't know how to print unicode chars under windows, sorry about that.

Any forks and contributions are appriciated. Feel free to contact me on any questions
via talkchess.com forum, opening issues on github or by email <[email protected]>

Roland Chastain - kindly pointed out windows compilation details and reported unicode chars output issue,
                  provided native windows 32-bit binary executable
