+# Sushi
+Sushi is a Suicide Chess program I wrote back in 2006 during my compsci studies.
+
+It can either be used from the command line or using [XBoard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XBoard) as a graphical interface.
+
+I share the code freely under a [GPLv3 licence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License#Version_3).
