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

       tourney-manager - perl interface to run chess engine tourneys

SYNOPSIS

       tourney-manager configfiles

DESCRIPTION

       tourney-manager helps you to run chess engine tournaments easyly.

       Running Tournaments:

       1. Create a directory in which the tourneymanager can put all his temporary files, configuration and results.

       2.  Then  create the configuration files. Look at /usr/share/doc/tourney-manager/example.conf which is supplied along with the tourney man-
       ager. Copy this to the tourney directory,it is rather well commented.

       More tuning has to be done to specify non standard chess engines. The example-engine.conf has some standard engines set. The settings  have
       to be tuned according your system.

       Example for an UCI engine:

       example-engines.conf:

       engine = Glaurung2 bin	  = /home/username/chess/tourney/glau.sh

       glau.sh:

       #!/bin/bash /usr/games/polyglot /home/username/chess/tourney/glaurung.ini

       glaurung.ini:

       [PolyGlot]

       EngineDir = .  EngineCommand = /usr/games/glaurung

       Log = false LogFile = glaurung.log

       Resign = true ResignScore = 600

       [Engine]

       Hash = 64 OwnBook = false Threads = 1

       3.  Start  the  tourney	manager  tourney-manager  The tourney manager uses an interactive command shell. To start up quickly,the following
       sequence of commands should be enough:

	       create
	       print
	       start

	  Help about commands is available by 'help' and 'help <command>'.

OPTIONS

       This program just takes the configfile as an option.
