Crates.io

The project is also available on crates.io here

Connect a chess engine

You can play chess-tui with any UCI compatible chess engines. To do so you will need to use the -e command to give the chess engine binary path.

Example:

chess-tui -e /your/bin/path

Here I installed stockfish using homebrew and gave chess-tui the path the the engine binary. This command will store in your home directory the chess engine path so you don't have to relink it everytime !
