Kudos to your project - I'm happy to see another open source engine on a microcontroller.

Thanks!

Please note that the results I post here are on a "regular" laptop. Dog plays on lichess on an esp32 (https://lichess.org/@/MaxtheDog-ESP32) but most development takes place on linux because of development-convenience.

Thanks for sharing, Just added to my GUI simply as I wanted to see a chess program called dog on my laptop? Anyway I wondered what does the TRACE option do?
Also have you thought about adding some type of limit strength option ? Most GUI s can do that , But if programmers design their own method I find their implementation is often better than a GUIs random implementation.

Awesome, thank you!

Now we need someone to create an engine called Cat so we can have a match between them

It is internal debugging. Prints some stats to a file.

I have not considered that as my program is relatively weak compared to others. On the other hand it is quite powerful compared to humans. Hmmm, I'll add it to my todolist.

There is an engine called chat. Wolfgang delmare is the programmer.
It has no search tree , only static evaluation. It is an engine from the 80ies.

Chat (Saxicola rubetra) not Cat (Felis catus) ! Details here:
