The brief
uChess is a Java-based chess engine developed using Spring Boot as part of a college project. It focuses on performance-oriented search algorithms like Negamax, Alpha-Beta pruning, and Quiescence Search, along with bitboard representation and parallel move generation.
The engine is modular and aims for deep position evaluation with minimal branching.
