💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this manual page? it documents the ethereal-chess command. that's the assignment, and it ate. 💅

ethereal-chess is an UCI-compliant chess engine. periodt.

it uses the traditional alpha-beta framework, plus a whole little squad of pruning, reduction, extension, and other improvements. it's greatly influenced from Crafty, Stockfish, TSCP, MadChess and Fruit — like, it studied under all the legends fr fr 🌈⭐

✨ OPTIONS ✨

ngl this is the part where you'd expect a cute little list of flags, and… bestie, no. 🙈

this program does NOT follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes. it's not like that. it's built different (literally, it talks UCI instead). 💀
