NAME
glaurung - free UCI chess engine, to calculate chess moves
SYNOPSIS
glaurung
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the glaurung command.
glaurung is an UCI chess engine, to calculate chess moves
Opening book
This version of Glaurung has experimental support for PolyGlot opening
books. For information about how to create such books, consult the
PolyGlot documentation. Currently, Glaurung requires that the book
file is named book.bin and is placed in Glaurungs working directory.
More than one CPU
Beginning with version 2-epsilon/3, Glaurung has support for up to four
CPUs. Because the program currently cannot automatically detect the
number of CPUs on your computer, it uses only a single search thread by
default. If your computer has two or more CPUs (this includes
dual-core CPUs like the Intel Core Duo or the AMD Athlon 64 X2), you
should set the "Threads" UCI parameter to the number of CPUs to obtain
optimal performance.
OPTIONS
This program does NOT follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with
long options starting with two dashes.
SEE ALSO
Communication with UCI commands is documented by "The UCI Communication
Protocol" in /usr/share/doc/glaurung/engine-interface.txt.
