chess - the game of chess
SYNOPSIS
/usr/games/chess
DESCRIPTION
Chess is a computer program that plays class D chess. Moves may be given either in standard (descriptive) notation or in algebraic nota-
tion. The symbol `+' is used to specify check; `o-o' and `o-o-o' specify castling. To play black, type `first'; to print the board, type
an empty line.
Each move is echoed in the appropriate notation followed by the program's reply.
FILES
/usr/lib/book opening `book'
DIAGNOSTICS
The most cryptic diagnostic is `eh?' which means that the input was syntactically incorrect.
WARNING
Over-use of this program will cause it to go away.
BUGS
Pawns may be promoted only to queens.

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.
