Do you think it would be possible to achieve 1:1 ELO:bytes? Even smaller, but can be less smart.

Cool that you could keep it under 2k but it would nice to have a readable version of the source code.

Do you work with it like this or do you have some sort of script you apply to get it down to a single line, single letter variable names?

The real fun would be reverse-engineering the minified code (there are loads of tools to do this for chrome extensions)

What you’re describing is the typical output / function of a minifier

How did you handle games where Stockfish would castle or promote?
datavorous_ 9 minutes ago [-]
i forced stockfish to play only non castling, non en passant, non promotion moves by filtering legal moves and passing only those as root_moves

also removed castling/EP rights from FEN
