SYNOPSIS

10       polyglot-chess <INI files>
11

DESCRIPTION

13       This manual page documents the polyglot-chess command.
14
15       polyglot-chess acts as an xboard engine.  There should be no difference
16       with  a  normal  chess  program  as  far  as  the interface (e.g. scid,
17       knights, xboard) is concerned.
18
19       To use PolyGlot with XBoard, you would type something like this:
20
21       > xboard -fd 'polyglot-chess_dir' -fcp 'polyglot engine.ini'
22
23       Quotes are important when there is a space in the argument.
24

OPTIONS

26       <INI file>
27
28       PolyGlot is invoked using "polyglot-chess <INI file>".  Note that Poly‐
29       Glot  will look for the INI file in the current directory.  So the user
30       is encuraged to make a .polyglot-chess directory in his  home  and  put
31       the  <INI files> there. If no <INI file> is given, "polyglot-chess.ini"
32       is selected.
