This is a demo of an algorithm for generating and using chess endgame databases.
The directory generate contains C++ code that generates the endgame databases. In Linux, use the bash script generate/build to compile the C++ code. In Windows, use the Visual Studio solution windows/endgame/endgame.sln.
The directory web contains a browser-based demo of using the generated databases.
Here is a hosted version of the live demo that forces checkmate in an optimal number of moves.
