For a long time I wanted to make my own chess program, mainly because I am a fan of this game and also because it is a good exercise of programming.
Aretar is my humble attempt to enter into this fascinating world.
It includes most of the main UCI commands and it is compatible with the Arena GUI (already tested).
It runs with an Elo of about 1400-1600 (not really rated), so it is not very strong yet.

Any feedback is really welcome.
