It would be fun to have 'demoscene' for chess engines and AI in general where computers to play chess with very restricted resources.

What is the smallest computer with superhuman cababilities?

I just made a Rust port of it https://github.com/Recursing/sunfish_rs if anybody's interested (would love some feedback)

You can play against it at https://lichess.org/@/sunfish_rs and see its strengths and weaknesses

What's the deal with naming chess engines after fish? I tried to look up someplace to buy stockfish the other day and instead finding information about dried fish I found a bunch of information about the chess engine.

The screen shot could use a little work. Looks like the dots and letters don't line up with the pieces. Very cool though.

This engine appears to have neither an interesting evaluation of positions, nor any of the performance tweaks that make traditional engines powerful. You're likely to learn more in an afternoon on https://www.chessprogramming.org, but all chess engines are beautiful in their own way, and I have certainly created nothing better.

I’m curious how the code is sped up with pypy and why that helps?

What does pypy bring to this situation?

This is very cool. How does the chess engine work without some sort of AI?
