Monolith is a powerful open source chess engine written in C++17, compliant with the Universal Chess Interface (UCI) protocol. It uses the alpha-beta search algorithm. The search and parallelization-algorithms, the position evaluation principles, the fast move-generating methods, the support for opening books and endgame table-bases, all of it wasn’t newly invented in this engine. Monolith is rather a new original implementation of many well-established concepts of computer chess, resulting in its own unique personality as a chess playing entity.
