El Turco is a winboard/xboard compatible chess engine, that supports craty style opening books.
To use El Turco simply run the precompiled binaries or run make or gmake in the src directory to compile it for your platform. To make use of a opening book download a crafty opening book and copy it to the El Turco directory with the name of "book.bin"
El Turco uses the same book binary format and random number generator
as Crafty from Dr. Robert Hyatt.
