=============================== Universal Chess Interface (UCI) =============================== .. contents:: Description =========== This package provides a pure Python client-server `Universal Chess Interface`_ to a chess engine intended for analysing positions rather than playing games. Installation Instructions ========================= This package is available on PyPI so can be installed by typing python -m pip install --user uci-net at the command prompt. See `Python`_ and `pip`_ documentation for alternatives and platform-specific points. Run === The command to run the server is: python -m uci_net.tcp_driver [port] [allowed callers] path [options] A path to a UCI chess engine must be given. See chess engine documentation for options. By default anyone is allowed to use the server, subject to firewall restrictions. A comma separated list of hostnames in <allowed callers> prevents hosts not in the list from using the server. Conections to the server are made on port 'port'. The default is 11111. Assuming a hostname 'stockfishbox' with IP address 192.168.0.1 and the default port, suitable engine definition records in `ChessTab`_ are: '//stockfishbox:11111?name=Stockfish 12' or '//192.168.0.1:11111?name=Stockfish 12'. The record says 'name=Stockfish 12' because 'Stockfish 12' is the 'id name' value returned by Stockfish 12 in response to the 'uci' command. The client is run by applications such as `ChessTab`_ when required. Notes ===== Project name and package name changed from 'uci' to 'uci-net' prior to upload to PyPI. The version numbers of uci-net continue on from uci. .. _Python: https://python.org .. _pip: https://packaging.python.org/installing .. _Universal Chess Interface: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Chess_Interface .. _ChessTab: http://www.solentware.co.uk/download.html
