Volatile is a high-performance, UCI-compatible C++ chess engine built from scratch, currently playing at a 2200-2400 Elo. We are looking for contributors of all skill levels to help us bridge the gap to top-tier engines. This project serves as a fantastic, beginner-friendly learning ground for modern C++ systems programming, clean architecture (SOLID principles), and game AI. Current high-priority tasks include integrating Efficiently Updatable Neural Networks (NNUE), implementing Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), optimizing time-management algorithms, and improving our testing and CI/CD infrastructure. Whether you are making your first open-source contribution or you are an expert eager to tackle complex optimization problems, your ideas are warmly welcomed here!

We're looking for projects who can take the time out to
help mentor developers as they get started with
open source.
What sort of tasks are a good fit?
Tasks should take no longer than a few nights' worth of work
Tasks should stand alone - avoid core functionality on which other tasks depend
Tasks should be well described with pointers to help the implementer
We suggest the label up-for-grabs
but using a different name is also acceptable.
If this sounds like you, getting involved is simple:
Label bugs and feature requests that would be a good place to startGrab the URL to this list of tasks so that others can get to it easily
