Note that if the GUI sends a `uci`/`gui` command to the bot that is the same as its protocol, no translation will happen, and the commands will be passed in verbatim between them.

compiling on Windows
---
Clone the repository, then open `moonfish.vcxproj` with Visual Studio. Support for [C11 `<threads.h>`][C11 threads in VS] is required. Only the UCI bot will be compiled, not its tools. (You may use a GUI like [cutechess] to try it.)
-Beware that, as of December of 2023, Microsoft, perhaps accidentally, [removed support for C11 threads][missing C11 threads] from Visual Studio but is planning to add it back. Meanwhile, a [workaround][C11 threads workaround] is given in their community support forum.
-
Note that [MinGW] compilation is also supported.
