# Chess engine configuration file for Chess Giants.
# Chess Giants is engine-agnostic, which means it can handle any CECP-compliant
# engine, and virtually any state-based 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.
# IMPORTANT: UCI engines are "stateless" engines. These engines work in a very
# different way and therefore an adapter program such as Polyglot must be used.
# See the "Fruit" or "Stockfish" engine configuration files for an example.
