README.md
A chess engine written in nim
For now, that's about it.
Installation
First, install mimalloc, because Nim's default allocator is fast but also borked beyond repair with threads, and malloc is slow as fuck. Use your distro's package manager to do this.
THEN
Just run nimble install
Testing
Just run nimble test: sit back, relax, get yourself a cup of coffee and wait for it to finish :)
