USI, (Universal Shogi Interface)
an open communication protocol for Shogi playing engines to communicate with a GUI. USI was designed by Tord Romstad based on the Universal Chess Interface (UCI), and proposed in early 2007 [1]. Quite similar to UCI, it uses a Shogi extension of the Forsyth-Edwards Notation called SFEN, and the standard English shogi board coordinates 1a-9i.
