'''[[Main Page|Home]] * [[Protocols]] * USI'''
'''USI''', (Universal Shogi Interface)<br/>
an open [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_protocol communication protocol] for [[Shogi]] playing engines to communicate with a [[GUI]].
USI was designed by [[Tord Romstad]] based on the [[UCI|Universal Chess Interface]] (UCI), and proposed in early 2007 <ref>[http://www.shogi.net/shogi-l/dir07/dirday0124/article070124132552.html First draft of the Universal Shogi Interface (USI)] by [[Tord Romstad]], [[Computer Chess Forums|SHOGI-L]], January 24, 2007</ref>.
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.
