Description

Chess positions can be evaluated and played by a small C chess engine. Developers, students, and chess-tool authors use minnow for experiments, engine integration, or learning how a simple chess engine works.

It is a chess engine, not a full graphical chess app. Strength is intentionally limited, and a separate interface may be needed for comfortable play.

How to run

minnow

Commands: minnow
