.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
This manual page documents briefly the
|
||
|
|
.BR phalanx
|
||
|
|
program.
|
||
|
|
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
|
||
|
|
(but may be used by others), because the original program does not
|
||
|
|
have a manual page.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.B phalanx
|
||
|
|
is a chess playing program. It is partially xboard compatible. Under
|
||
|
|
xboard, it can play games, force & undo moves, and show thinking. In
|
||
|
|
this version, you cannot set positions with xboard.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
It is also possible to run phalanx without xboard. Do
|
||
|
|
.B phalanx -?
|
||
|
|
to get a list of command line options. One important command of
|
||
|
|
phalanx's ASCII interface is
|
||
|
|
.B help.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.B phalanx
|
||
|
|
uses (traditional) 10x12 board implementation. There are three often
|
||
|
|
used board implementations: "8x8" (GNU Chess), "bitboard" (Crafty), and
|
||
|
|
"10x12" (Nimzo, Phalanx). In short, "10x12" is easy to implement and the
|
||
|
|
code is small (==fast on PC). Opening book is small, simple,
|
||
|
|
hand-written.

assistance of
