EBOARD(6) Games Manual EBOARD(6) NAME
eboard - a graphical chess board SYNOPSIS
eboard [-log] [-debug] [-dgtport device ] DESCRIPTION
This manual page briefly describes the eboard command. eboard is a graphical chess board. It acts as an interface to chess engines (like GNU Chess, Sjeng and Crafty) and Internet Chess Servers (ICS) like FICS (http://www.freechess.org), and works as a browser for chess games saved as PGN (Portable Game Notation) files. eboard itself is not a chess engine: it won't play games, it will just act as a graphical interface between programs that play games like GNU chess (or ICS servers) and the end-user. To move pieces click on the source square and then click to destination square. Optionally, you may drag the piece from the source to the destination square (you won't see the piece being dragged). To drop pieces on crazyhouse and bughouse variants (ICS-only) right-click the destination square and select the piece to drop from the popup menu. For help with ICS commands consult the server (most of them have online help and help channels). For help setting up associated programs (chess engines, timestamping, etc.) see the documentation in /usr/share/doc/eboard or visit the eboard web site at http://eboard.sourceforge.net. If the documentation is not installed in your system, you can find it in the source dis- tribution, available from the web site. OPTIONS
-log Log network communications to "~/LOG.eboard". Communications held in password mode are not logged. -debug Print miscellaneous debug info to "~/DEBUG.eboard". -dgtport device Use the DGT board connected to the given device. AUTHORS

STOCKFISH(6) STOCKFISH(6) NAME
stockfish - free UCI chess engine, to calculate chess moves SYNOPSIS
stockfish DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the stockfish command. stockfish is an UCI chess engine, to calculate chess moves Stockfish is a free UCI chess engine derived from Glaurung 2.1. It is not a complete chess program, but requires some UCI compatible GUI (like XBoard with PolyGlot, eboard, Jose, Arena, in order to be used comfortably. Read the documentation for your GUI of choice for infor- mation about how to use Stockfish with your GUI. This version of Stockfish supports up to 8 CPUs, but has not been tested thoroughly with more than 2. The program tries to detect the num- ber of CPUs on your computer and set the number of search threads accordingly, but please be aware that the detection is not always cor- rect. It is therefore recommended to inspect the value of the "Threads" UCI parameter, and to make sure it equals the number of CPU cores on your computer. If you are using more than four threads, it is recommended to raise the value of "Minimum Split Depth" UCI parameter to 6. Opening book This version of stockfish has experimental support for PolyGlot opening books. For information about how to create such books, consult the PolyGlot documentation. OPTIONS
This program does NOT follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes. SEE ALSO
Communication with UCI commands is documented by "The UCI Communication Protocol" in /usr/share/doc/stockfish/engine-interface.txt. AUTHOR
