-1. Introduction
----------------
-
-Stockfish is a free UCI chess engine derived from Glaurung 2.1. It is
-not a complete chess program and requires some UCI-compatible GUI
-(e.g. XBoard with PolyGlot, eboard, Arena, Sigma Chess, Shredder, Chess
-Partner or Fritz) in order to be used comfortably. Read the
-documentation for your GUI of choice for information about how to use
-Stockfish with it.
-
-This version of Stockfish supports up to 64 CPUs, but has not been
-tested thoroughly with more than 4. The program tries to detect the
-number of CPUs on your computer and sets the number of search threads
-accordingly, but please be aware that the detection is not always
-correct. It is therefore recommended to inspect the value of the
-"Threads" UCI parameter, and to make sure it equals the number of CPU
-cores on your computer. If you are using more than eight threads, it is
-recommended to raise the value of the "Min Split Depth" UCI parameter to
-7.

-2. Files
---------
-
-This distribution of Stockfish consists of the following files:
-
- * Readme.txt, the file you are currently reading.
-
- * Copying.txt, a text file containing the GNU General Public License.
-
- * src/, a subdirectory containing the full source code, including a
- Makefile that can be used to compile Stockfish on Unix-like systems.
- For further information about how to compile Stockfish yourself read
- section 4 below.
-
- * polyglot.ini, for using Stockfish with Fabien Letouzey's PolyGlot
- adapter.
-
-
-3. Opening books
-----------------
-
-This version of Stockfish has support for PolyGlot opening books. For
-information about how to create such books, consult the PolyGlot
-documentation. The book file can be selected by setting the "Book File"
-UCI parameter.
-
-
-4. Compiling it yourself
-------------------------
-
-On Unix-like systems, it should be possible to compile Stockfish
-directly from the source code with the included Makefile.
-
-Stockfish has support for 32 or 64-bit CPUs, the hardware POPCNT
-instruction, big-endian machines such as Power PC, and other platforms.
-
-In general it is recommended to run 'make help' to see a list of make
-targets with corresponding descriptions. When not using Makefile to
-compile (for instance with Microsoft MSVC) you need to manually
-set/unset some switches in the compiler command line; see file "types.h"
-for a quick reference.
-
-
-5. Terms of use
----------------
-
-Stockfish is free, and distributed under the GNU General Public License
-(GPL). Essentially, this means that you are free to do almost exactly
-what you want with the program, including distributing it among your
-friends, making it available for download from your web site, selling
-it (either by itself or as part of some bigger software package), or
-using it as the starting point for a software project of your own.
-
-The only real limitation is that whenever you distribute Stockfish in
-some way, you must always include the full source code, or a pointer
-to where the source code can be found. If you make any changes to the
-source code, these changes must also be made available under the GPL.
-
-For full details, read the copy of the GPL found in the file named
-Copying.txt.
