NAME

       fruit - Fruit is a UCI-only chess engine.

SYNOPSIS

       fruit

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the fruit program.

       Fruit is an UCI-only chess engine. This distribution comes up with an opening book.

       Fruit  and  other  UCI  engines	can  be  used  with  XBoard  or WinBoard (or other xboard-compatible interfaces) with the help of PolyGlot
       (UCI-to-xboard adapter). Another well known frontend is scid, which has a UCI capable interface.

OPTIONS

       These program does NOT follow the usual GNU command line syntax, but can be fed with options with a personal config file which can be  read
       by  the	polyglot helper software. The author himself says "You are advised to skip this section unless you are completely crazy about com-
       puter chess." For a complete description of these UCI commands, see the readme files.

NAME

       eleeye_engine - a chess program engine to communicate with its user interface

SYNOPSIS

       eleeye_engine is a command-line client for UCCI (based on UCI) protocol. It
       provides full support of basic UCI command, such as position, go, banmoves or
       bestmove and much more.

DESCRIPTION

       The  Universal  Chess  Interface  (UCI)	is an open communication protocol that enables a chess program engine to communicate with its user
       interface.

       It was designed and released by Rudolf Huber and Stefan Meyer-Kahlen, the author of Shredder, in November 2000, and can be seen as a  rival
       to the older XBoard/WinBoard Communication protocol. Like the latter, it is free to use without license fees.

       Customarily,  UCI  assigns  some  tasks	to the user interface that have traditionally been handled by the engine itself. Most notably, the
       opening book is usually expected to be handled by the interface, by simply selecting moves to play until it is out of book, and	only  then
       starting  up the engine for calculation in the resulting position. (UCI does not specify any on-disk format for the opening book; different
       UIs -- user interfaces -- usually have their own, proprietary formats.) Also, the user interface  may  handle  endgame  tablebases  if  the
       engine  does  not  support it itself, although this is often better handled in the engine, as having tablebase information can be useful to
       consider a possible future position.
