+Polyglot is a chess engine protocol adaptor
+
+Common chess frontends have a winboard/xboard input interface,
+modern chess engines speak the UCI "universal chess interface"
+protocol. This protocol adaptor makes it possible to use standard
+chess frontends, like xboard or scid with UCI speaking engines
+and play chess against them.
