It has only been tested on windows and has not shown any bugs on both 32-bit(x86) and 64-bit(x64).
Download: https://github.com/BimmerBass/Loki/releases/tag/v1.0.2

It uses the UCI-protocol.

Hi Niels,

I managed to compile the sources with two issues:
1. I had to put #include <strings> in position.cpp and uci.cpp.
2. I got several warnings like this:

PS. Many abandon their engines after finishing school. I hope you won't join them.

Hi. I didn't know there were include issues... It compiles just fine in visual studio 2019, but I will fix it.
I ran a test today and encountered an issue where Loki gave illegal moves and I am not 100% sure if it also does that in the release i posted here (it didn't when i tested), or if it was just my change that caused it. I will fix it and the warnings as soon as possible.
It will be more thoroughly tested next time i announce a release since i can imagine that it is quite annoying to deal with for you as a tester, and i apologize for that.

PS. I do not intend to join them. Writing chess engines is by far the most interesting projects I've worked on.
