Detailed Description

Connect-4 search engine that operates on BitBully::Board.

Provides BitBully::BitBully, a perfect-play solver built around an alpha-beta negamax. Notable features:

• move ordering via BitBully::Board::sortMoves(),
• a transposition table with EXACT / LOWER / UPPER bounds and an Enhanced-Transposition-Cutoff (ETC) variant,
• mirror-symmetry lookups,
• optional opening-book consultation (8-ply or 12-ply),
• MTD(f) and binary-search (null-window) drivers on top of the negamax.
