This project is an engine to play in Russian checkers. It is implemented
as a console program. Through command line any GUI or user can ask engine
about a position.

To install application try following commands:
    ./configure
    make
    make check
    sudo make install

To install from GIT repository tun before
    autoreconf -vis

Now it includes some stupid engines for play and endgame tablebase generator (DTC metric).

Supported commands are:
  exit or quit                     - Exit from console
  move list                        - List of all possible moves
  move select “N”                  - Perform N-th move from the list (move list)
  fen                              - Show position alphanumeric FEN (http://pdn.fmjd.org/fen.html)
  fen “fenstr”                     - Set fen
  ai list                          - List of supported AIs (asterix marks current one)
  ai select                        - Ask AI to move
  set param [=] “value”            - Set some parameters
    Now supported:
      ai                               - AI as engine
      etb_dir                          - Directory for Endgame Table Base
  etb info                         - Show moves and DTC estimation
  etb index                        - Print position index in the Endgame Table Base
  etb load “dir”                   - Load tablebases from directory and update etb_dir.
  etb gen “postiontypestr”         - Generate endgame for given position type
    “positiontype” is a [wWbB] where w, b - black and white simples, W, B - black and white mam,
                   for example, “wwWB” is a position with two white simples, one white mam and one black mam.

Simple session is:

> set etb_dir /home/proger
> etb gen WB
Generating endgame 0+1 vs 0+1.
Turn 1: all moves are generated, base estimations are done.
Turn 2: add 4 new estimations (loosing).
  index  1025 estimation = -2: B:WKa1:BKh8
Turn 2: add 24 new estimations (winning).
  index  1763 estimation = 2: B:WKh8:BKe5
Turn 3: add 0 new estimations (loosing).
Turn 3: add 0 new estimations (winning).
