This is a Java Chess AI that is based on bitboards and that implements the variant king of the hill with several techniques such as principal variation search, dynamic peace square tables, transposition tables, move ordering and many more. Furthermore, the project includes a basic implementation of the Monte Carlo Tree Search. The implementation of the techniques can be found in the Model package. Involved techniques can be configured via the moveSelector method in the MoveGenerator class.
The AI allows to play games in different modes:
- local via the included game server
- via a remote game server
- and as an AI vs. AI game in the same thread
To start a game follow the steps below: ###Local game server
- Start the game-server.jar in the project.
- Open the UI in your browser via 127.0.0.1:8025
- Execute the main in GameserverPlayer1 to play against the bot.
- Execute GameserverPlayer2 to play AI vs. AI on the server.
- To reset the game server status delete the content of the db folder.
###Remote game server
- Configure the URI of the running web server in the main method of RemotePlayer1 or RemotePlayer2 and execute.
The game server can be found under: https://github.com/Theaninova/kothserver
###AI vs. AI
- Execute the LocalGame class.
The game status will be printed on the console.
This project is part of the AI project "Projekt KI - Symbolische Künstliche Intelligenz" at TU Berlin.
