I think a readme on how to run it, the command syntax it accepts, etc. would be
very helpful.

I downloaded it.  I built it.  But I can't for the life of me figure out what
commands it accepts.  I have given it a bunch of commands, and it just seems to
sit there.  No error messages, no output, no nothing.  I am sure that I am just
using it wrong.  But I don't normally have any trouble figuring out how to make
a chess engine play a game of chess from the command line.
