ChessPlusPlus is a modular game of chess programmed with the latest gadgets and gizmos in C++, namely whatever happens to be the most recently released standard (currently C++14, eventually C++17). The project aims to show the simplicity and elegance of modern C++ as well as demonstrate use of the latest features of the language and the more modern design practices.
Indeed, you yourself will need the latest and greatest in C++ compliation technology if you wish to compile ChessPlusPlus for yourself. But fear not, for you are not the only one seeking the latest and greatest - for example the nuwen MinGW distro is generally up to par with the most modern stuff, and if you're not on Windows you can always just use your friendly neighborhood gcc. LLVM's clang is a superhero too, you know, and libc++ rivals gcc's libstdc++.
