Quick Start

Megalodon is a chess engine which uses UCI protocol. This means that it can communicate with a GUI, but cannot display a chess board by itself.

You will need a separate chess GUI program. Some common ones are listed below:

• Arena Chess
• Lucas Chess
• Cutechess

The Megalodon Developers are working on another chess GUI, Hammerhead, but as of now it is not functional.

Download the latest Megalodon version and a chess GUI. Then, add Megalodon as an engine in the GUI, and you are ready to play it!
