OXIDE GAMBIT

I'm not sure I like this name but Connor is very attached to it so I'm going with it.

What is this?

This is a home-grown chess engine written in rust. I started writing this as a way to learn rust, then I learned rust, realised how bad all my code was, and am now in the throes of a rewrite.
