NAME

       yics - Yahoo! Chess client for use with FICS interfaces

SYNOPSIS

       yics [ -l logfile ]

DESCRIPTION

       YICS  connects to the free Yahoo! Chess lobbies and emulates a FICS server.  It can be used with most FICS interfaces (xboard(6), for exam-
       ple) to play on Yahoo! Chess.

OPTIONS

       YICS currently accepts only one option:

       -l logfile
	      Saves a connection log (excluding login information) to logfile, which can be attached to a bug report if requested by the author.

COMMAND REFERENCE

       A reference of commands, and other useful documentation, may be found on the YICS wiki: <http://wiki.yics.org>.

YICS AS A HELPER PROGRAM

       YICS was designed to be used as a helper program with FICS interfaces.  With xboard the use is fairly straightforward:

	xboard -ics -icshost Yahoo -icshelper yics

       Note that the parameter to -icshost has no effect, aside from setting the xboard title.	eboard is a little tricky, but can be done:

	ln -s $(which yics) timeseal.$(uname -s) ; eboard

       Choose "Peer > Connect to FICS" in eboard to connect.

SEE ALSO

NAME

       toga2 - toga2 is a UCI-only chess engine.

SYNOPSIS

       toga2

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the toga2 program.

       toga2 is an UCI-only chess engine.

       toga2  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). An other well known frontend is KDE knights, 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.
