Function Documentation

any_legal_moves()

auto chess::moves::any_legal_moves ( const Position & position ) -> bool

inlinenodiscard

Returns true if the side to move has any legal moves in the given position.

Definition at line 777 of file MoveGen.hpp.

castle_kingside()

auto chess::moves::castle_kingside ( const Color color ) -> Move

related

Definition at line 304 of file Move.hpp.

castle_queenside()

auto chess::moves::castle_queenside ( const Color color ) -> Move

related

Definition at line 315 of file Move.hpp.

generate() [1/2]

template<bool CapturesOnly = false>

auto chess::moves::generate ( const Position & position ) -> MoveList

nodiscard

Generates a list of all legal moves for the side to move in the given position. If the side to move is in checkmate or stalemate, this returns an empty list. The list of moves is not sorted in any particular manner.

See also

generate_for()

Definition at line 745 of file MoveGen.hpp.

generate() [2/2]

template<bool CapturesOnly = false>

void chess::moves::generate	(	const Position &	position,
		std::output_iterator< Move > auto	outputIt )

Generates a list of all legal moves for the side to move in the given position. The list of moves is not sorted in any particular manner.

See also

generate_for()

Definition at line 734 of file MoveGen.hpp.

generate_for() [1/2]

template<bool CapturesOnly = false>

auto chess::moves::generate_for ( const Position & position, PieceType piece ) -> MoveList

nodiscard

Generates a list of all legal moves for only the given piece type in the given position.

Generating King moves will include castling. Generating pawn moves will include all pushes, double pushes, captures, promotions, and en passant captures.

See also

generate()

Definition at line 766 of file MoveGen.hpp.

generate_for() [2/2]

template<bool CapturesOnly = false>

void chess::moves::generate_for	(	const Position &	position,
		PieceType	piece,
		std::output_iterator< Move > auto	outputIt )

Generates a list of all legal moves for only the given piece type in the given position.

Generating King moves will include castling. Generating pawn moves will include all pushes, double pushes, captures, promotions, and en passant captures.

perft()

template<bool IsRoot>

auto chess::moves::perft ( const size_t depth, const game::Position & startingPosition ) -> PerftResult

related

Definition at line 119 of file Perft.hpp.

promotion()

auto chess::moves::promotion ( const File file, const Color color, const PieceType promotedType ) -> Move
