Hello,

I'm looking for free chess engine. Can I compile this source with app that was written in objective-c?

How to use it? Is there any documentation?

Thanks.

Hello, At this point the engine is woefully incomplete. Integrating it into an application and expecting it to do anything useful without many more hours of work would be insanity, really. That being said, the structure of it is all there and most of the engine is stubbed out, so if you're looking for a starting place to write your own engine, then feel free to take a look at what myself and tmullins have done. If, on the other hand, you're searching for a chess engine that you can compile into an application, then your best bet is probably a more mature engine with a more developed API. I believe Stockfish is also available on Github, but I'm not sure what license they've published their engine under. Stockfish is a very powerful engine that will perform admirably on even older hardware, and has competed in numerous computer chess tournaments. I hope this has helped you.
