-.SH DESCRIPTION
-This manual page documents briefly the
-.BR phalanx
-program.
-This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
-(but may be used by others), because the original program does not
-have a manual page.
-.PP
-.B phalanx
-is a chess playing program. It is partially xboard compatible. Under
-xboard, it can play games, force & undo moves, and show thinking. In
-this version, you cannot set positions with xboard.
-.PP
-It is also possible to run phalanx without xboard. Do
-.B phalanx -?
-to get a list of command line options. One important command of
-phalanx's ASCII interface is
-.B help.
-.PP
-.B phalanx
-uses (traditional) 10x12 board implementation. There are three often
-used board implementations: "8x8" (GNU Chess), "bitboard" (Crafty), and
-"10x12" (Nimzo, Phalanx). In short, "10x12" is easy to implement and the
-code is small (==fast on PC). Opening book is small, simple,
-hand-written.
