+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 128 cores. The engine defaults to one
+search thread, so 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.
+
+This version of Stockfish has support for Syzygybases.
