Ultima Chess: Integration chess AI and Stockfish

In the Ultima Chess demo, we will include a C++ chess AI from Freedom Developer with a 1500 Elo rating. This chess AI strictly adheres to international chess rules, including important mechanics such as castling, checkmate scenarios, and the 50/75 move rule. It provides a realistic and competitive chess environment for virtual reality players.

In the release, we plan to integrate Stockfish, which is one of the strongest chess engines available today. With its deep computations and large opening book, Stockfish will greatly improve the artificial intelligence performance, allowing players to play with different levels of difficulty. Switching to Stockfish will make the game more dynamic and appealing for casual and experienced players.
