| 2 | |||
| 3 | # Chess Giants is engine-agnostic, which means it can handle any CECP-compliant |
||
| 4 | # engine, and virtually any state-based engine that communicates using newline- |
||
| 5 | # terminated ASCII strings over standard IO (stdin/stdout). All it needs is to |
||
| 6 | # read this configuration file to learn how to talk to the engine, and how to |
||
| 7 | # interpret the engine's replies. |
||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | # IMPORTANT: UCI engines are "stateless" engines. These engines work in a very |
||
| 10 | # different way and therefore an adapter program such as Polyglot must be used. |
||
| 11 | # Here is an example of how a UCI engine can be used with Chess Giants thanks |
||
| 12 | # to the Polyglot protocol converter (see also the polyglot.ini file). |
