A mediocre chess engine that is bad at openings and endgames, but better at middlegames.

(The bot is black)

Features:

• Uses the minimax algorithm with alpha beta pruning to search for moves
• Depending on the board evaluations and number of possible moves, the depth of the search tree is dynamically increased
  • Reason: When there are not many moves to choose from, search tree is narrow. Thus, the depth can be increased to dramatically improve performance
  • Could improve results for endgames
• Currently, the max guaranteed search depth is 3 ignoring the dynamic adjustments

Todo:

• Add timed games functionality
• Sometimes the backend hangs
