The engine uses a simple implementation of the
[NegaMax](https://www.chessprogramming.org/NegaMax)-algorithm.
For the evaluation function each piece has a corresponding value.
Additionally there are [piece-square tables](https://www.chessprogramming.org/Piece-Square_Tables)
to encurage putting pieces on active squares.
