Turkish Draughts
Orthogonal movement on all 64 squares — a different game entirely.
Hand-crafted evaluation MMC Solo Dev
The engine
The engine is written in C with bitboards and an alpha-beta search, and evaluates positions with a hand-crafted evaluation function. Turkish draughts uses all 64 squares with orthogonal movement, so none of the diagonal-board network work transfers to it — an NNUE net for this variant is still in training and is not in the shipped build.
The rules of this variant
Turkish draughts is the outlier. Every one of the 64 squares is playable, men move and capture sideways and forwards rather than diagonally, and kings slide orthogonally any distance. None of the diagonal-board work transfers.
