 As this can be done without any knowledge of the game rules, or even of the board size, \r
 such a dumb adapter can in principle be used for any variant. To use it for UCI protocol\r
 (both the Chess or Xiangqi dialects), use it without the -s flag (or with a -c flag).\r
+  As of version 2.0 UCI2WB also supports the UCCI protocol for Xiangqi, for which it was\r
+made slightly less dumb: in UCCI mode it keeps track of the board position on a (Xiangqi)\r
+board, so it can recognize capture moves, and send only the moves after it (with an\r
+appropriate FEN to start them from).\r
+  The general syntax of the UCI2WB command is:\r
+\r
+UCI2WB [debug] [-var VARIANTLIST] [-s|-c|-x] ENGINE.exe [ENGINEFOLDER]\r
+\r
+Presence of the 'debug' argument causes UCI2WB to report everything it receives from the engine,\r
+as well as the 'position' and 'go' commands sent to it, as debug output (prefixed with '#')\r
+to the GUI. This has the same effect as switching the option 'UCI2WB debug output' on,\r
+except that it forces the option to be on from the very beginning, so that the engine\r
+startup will also be reported.\r
+  The '-var' option overrules the list of variants UCI2WB says it supports with the given list,\r
+like 'feature variants="VARIANTLIST"'.\r
