A C++17 library that should provide legal move generation and be fairly performant.
git clone https://github.com/kz04px/libchess/
mkdir libchess/build
cd libchess/build
cmake ..
cmake --build .perft -- Counts the number of nodes at a given depth
suite -- Runs perft on a set of 126 positions
suite960 -- Runs perft on a set of chess960 positions
ttperft -- Same as perft but with a transposition table
ttsuite -- Same as suite but with a transposition table
split -- Runs perft on each move in a position
Both static and shared libraries are available, but the source files can also be included in a project directly.
Tests can be run with ./libchess-tests
