I'm not entirely new to the Arduino scene, but I'm certainly not an expert. With that, I've decided to pick up a few "toys", such as shields and attachments for the Arduino with the hopes of using them to learn more about this …

Today I added another set of options to picoEngine. Since it can now think through up to 8 ply, I needed to give it an option to choose how many ply you want it to think through. The commit is simple enough, which you can check out, but here is …
Okay, so I've been going on and on about making picoEngine think through multiple ply, and it really has been a challenge. I think this latest commit finally fixed it with the ability to think through up to 8 ply. That might seem like a lot, but the grandmaster level …
Last post I was really excited about granting picoEngine permission to make multi-ply moves. However, I came to realize that while it was considering the end result of multiple ply moves, it was still only making the current move based on a single ply decision.
So, in layman's terms: It …
