Sibyl will be a Winboard/UCI chess engine. This means that you need a graphical user
interface (GUI) like Winboard or Arena in order to be able to play against Sibyl.
See the downloads section for links and instructions of how
to install Sibyl in various GUIs.
The word sibyl comes (via Latin) from the Greek word Sibylla, meaning prophetess. Since
the word 'engine' has a female attribute (in greek language), I decided to name my engine
this way. For Sibyls, see wikipedia
for more details.
