Chess Bot

A little chess bot I made for fun. It's programmed in Rust, which I learned while creating this project. I used a minmax algorithm with alpha-beta pruning, and bitboards for optimal performance. It's better than me! Can you beat it?

A name spinner I made for fun. You can fill in a list of names and it will randomly select one for you. (And I might have build in a toggle to always select my name...)
