HotHandChess Changelog

Project classes were defined in more detail, methods were skelotoned and basic UCI commands were implemented for testing.

• UCIInterpreter class created
• Engine now responds to UCI startup handshakes and can return a predefined test move.
• Alpha engine executable built. It is not yet capable of full gameplay, but able to interpret standard UCI commands and respond correctly
• Square‑based and piece‑based board representations implemented; piece codes defined.
• A new developer joined the project.

What's Next:

• Finishing UCI parsing.
• Developing piece movement and generation.
• Making a prototype capable of making random legal moves.

The scope of the project was defined and initial resources created. The overall goal of HotHandChess is to build a UCI‑compatible chess engine designed to work seamlessly with GUI applications, such as CuteChess or Arena.

AHotHand Systems began development on HotHandChess, aiming to explore the world of chess programming and engine design.
