SCID interfaces with the engine through the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Chess_Interface" rel="nofollow">Universal Communication Interface protocol</a>, better known through its acronym, UCI. This protocol also allows an engine to play against another engine.</p></div>bstpSat, 30 May 2015 00:49:52 -0000https://sourceforge.net5eea6ed5e3a0cf7b532967f71d82e32a08686f0e
