## 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.

## What it does

- Bitboard-based board representation
- Negamax with Alpha-Beta pruning
- Quiescence search for tactical stability
- Parallelized move generation and evaluation
- Modular architecture with depth-based tuning
- Move validation and game state tracking
