Is there a "Hello World" or MVP of chess programming?

[Henk]

I can supply some "bye world"code. Some code for move generation that was so optimized that nobody understands it.

For instance some constants I used:

const ulong NOT_EP_NOT_CUR_PLAYER = NOT_EP & NOT_CUR_PLAYER;
const ulong NOT_EP_BLACK_CASTLING_NOT_CUR_PLAYER_NOT_FIFTY_MOVES = NOT_EP_BLACK_CASTLING_NOT_CUR_PLAYER & NOT_FIFTY_MOVES;
const ulong NOT_EP_NOT_BLACK_CASTLING_NOT_CUR_PLAYER_NOT_FIFTY_MOVES = NOT_EP & NOT_BLACK_CASTLING & NOT_CUR_PLAYER & NOT_FIFTY_MOVES;

Just handy for readability.

Totally embarrassing. I hate those videos with my guts. I don't like the narrating style, the coding style is horrible etc.

Well, when I get get entitled feedback like this, I tend to think "what's the f***ing point."

Why not put the effort in yourself?

Just ignore, if he trashes also MSCP then there is no point in arguing, or alike.

It is not an entitled feedback, it is A feedback.

I am very grateful to Bluefever as he is the only one who teaches how to build chess engine. The only one. He is the best.

But I am honest with my feedback. Maybe he will get more views if listens to it (maybe not).

P.S. Oh, you are Bluefever.

Once again: thank you very much for your work, you are the only one who is teaching how to build the chess engine.
