Redtail is a chess engine written in Rust. The engine employs various algorithms and strategies to make intelligent moves and offer a challenging opponent for chess enthusiasts. It may not be stockfish, but it's mine :)

Challenge redtail to a game on lichess or play redtail in the browser with WASM: https://webtail.vercel.app/ (Note that the WASM version is usually a bit behind, and its strength is dependant on your hardware)
