Arasan is a chess engine, that is, a console-based program that plays the game of chess.
For communicating with a chess interface, Arasan supports either the standard CECP protocol (version 2) or the UCI protocol. CECP is the native protocol used by Winboard and xboard. UCI-compatible chess interfaces include ChessBase and Fritz. Arena, a free interface, supports both protocols.
Arasan is multi-platform (Windows, Linux, Mac OS, Unix) and supports multi-threading for higher performance.
