I have been working on a new GPL engine: Senpai.
The highlights compared to Fruit are:
- from-scratch engine (no Fruit code)
- plain bitboards (I will implement magic bitboards later)
- more precise mobility (safety, centre weights)
- evaluation of tactical moves: captures and checks
- late-move pruning (last few plies)
- more aggressive futility pruning
The download page: http://www.chessprogramming.net/senpai/

Estimated level: Protector or better (don't ask).
