-moonfish is a UCI bot, which means you can use it with any UCI program (though see “limitations” above).

+moonfish is a UCI bot, which means you can select it and use it with any UCI program (though see “limitations” above). You can invoke `./moonfish` to start its UCI interface.

-However, note that you need an NNUE network in order for it to work! You can take `tanh.pickle` from [sunfish]’s repository, then convert it to moonfish’s format using the `convert.py` script. This should produce a `tanh.moon` file in the same directory, ready to be used for moonfish!

-~~~

-python3 convert.py tanh.pickle

-~~~

-Then you can invoke `./moonfish tanh.moon` to start its UCI interface. If you’re using a GUI, make sure to add the path to `tanh.moon` as the sole argument to moonfish.

 However, note that moonfish comes with its own UCI TUIs, called “play” and “analyse”. You can use them with any UCI engine you’d like!

 To play against a UCI bot, use `./play` followed by a time control, then the command of whichever bot you want to play against. The color of your pieces will be decided randomly.

 To analyse a game with an UCI bot, use `./analyse` followed by a FEN string (or `initial` for the starting position) in a single argument (use shell quotation marks if necessary) followed by the command of whichever bot you want to use for analysis. (Though note that moonfish currently does not have analysis capabilities.)
