Big thank you to everyone in TCEC chat for helping me out with both chess specifics as well as general programming!

UCI settings

weiss supports the following:

• Hash

  The size of the hash table in MB.

• SyzygyPath

  Path to syzygy tablebase files.

Note: weiss will print a string indicating it supports Ponder, this is done to make cutechess GUI show pondermove accuracy. weiss does not actually support this option.
