#Running

The cutechess program is the graphical user interface of Cute Chess. It can be run either from command-line or from your desktop environment's application launcher.

The cutechess-cli program is the command-line interface for playing games between chess engines. For example, to play ten games between two Sloppy engines (assuming sloppy is in PATH) with a time control of 40 moves in 60 seconds:

$ cutechess-cli -engine cmd=sloppy -engine cmd=sloppy -each proto=xboard tc=40/60 -rounds 10

See cutechess-cli -help for descriptions of the supported options or manuals for full documentation.
