Q: How to install a chess engine into BanksiaGUI?
A: There are two ways:
1) Drag and drop (the easiest and fastest way): just drag the engine from the File Browser and drop into Banksia GUI (anywhere). A pop up will appear for a few seconds. All are automatically.
2) Open Settings dialogbox (menu -> File -> Settings), tab Engines. Click on button with symbol + (add). A new dialogbox will be popped up. The user must select the engine. All other field may let empty, BSG can auto detect and fill for any empty field. Click the button OK and wait for a few seconds.
