# Chess engine configuration file for Chess Giants.
# Chess Giants is engine-agnostic, which means it can handle both CECP and UCI
# engines, and virtually any engine that communicates using newline-terminated
# ASCII strings over standard IO (stdin/stdout). All it needs is to read this
# configuration file to learn how to talk to the engine, and how to interpret
# the engine's replies.
