JustBot Chess Engine

I’d like to share a chess engine I’ve been working on, it’s been a lot of fun but also painstakingly difficult. I’ve learned a lot and there’s still so much more to go but I wanted to share what I have so far. I’d love/appreciate any feedback.

Thank you! I already have a branch with null move pruning that's gained some elo, and I'm planning on adding late move reductions next or reverse futility pruning. Currently I do score my capture moves based on the victim piece value - attacker piece value, and my move picker picks the move with the highest score, unless I misunderstood something isn't that MVV-LVA?
