 MessChess for UCI/WB (MESSUI 0.220) - (C) 2025 MAME Team & Franz Huber 
========================================================================
1) Special MESSUI version 0.220 for using chess modules as UCI/WB engines.
2) Changes to the original MESSUI 0.220 sources:
   a) removed all non-chess devices from MESSUI
   b) deleted all warnings and error messages.
3) Changes to the default MESSUI configuration:
   a) 'Window Mode > On' and 'Start Out Maximized > Off' (for module windows!).
   b) 'Video Mode > auto' (use 'opengl', 'd3d' or 'gdi' in case of graphic problems!).
4) I've also included 2 chess GUIs (WinBoard 4.9 and Arena 3.51), both are configured
   for all existing chess modules and can be used without any further installation.
5) In the subdirectories 'Hiarcs' and 'Shredder' there are installation files and
   instructions for these 2 special chess GUIs.


Usage as UCI or WB engines:
---------------------------
In principle this package should work in any GUI which supports UCI or WB engines.
To use any chess module of this package, create a new UCI or WB engine in your GUI,
use "<path>\MessChess.exe" as command (or program name) and "<module>" as command option,
some GUIs also allow to enter this in one single string "<path>\MessChess.exe <module>".

Example:
To use the 'Mephisto Montreux' in your GUI, enter "C:\CB-Emu\MessChess\MessChess.exe" as
command and "montreux" as option, or just "C:\CB-Emu\MessChess\MessChess.exe montreux".


IMPORTANT:
----------
a) For all chess modules the levels can be set in the GUIs engine options.
b) There is still one problem: the chess plugins for some engines don't correctly
   support special moves like underpromotion and/or enpassant - in these situations
   you have to use the necessary function keys of the engine to enter these moves.
