It would be very helpful to help blind gamers, a set of commands to explore the board.
Everything that follow a "." fullstop, should be considered an exploration command:
.a reads column a ...
.6 reads row 6 ...
.f7 reads the state of f7 square...
.@b8 Resume all the attack / defence / night's jump / pawn's captures on that suare
.xc3 reads diagonals that include c3 square and their contained pieces eventually
.P list the squares that contains white pawns
.p list the squares that contains black pawns
.r ...the same for black's rooks and so forth
.mt resume the materials still on the board, comparing pieces per type

A new analysis way, like this:
    analysis [t##]
Where t stands for timed, followed by a seconds amount, like:
analysis T5
Analysis starts, it lasts for 5 seconds, than it stops automatically and it returns just the main-line generated.

I would rename the py command as it is not really evaulate a python expression but, more precisely a math expression.
So I would call it calculate, shortened in c, or justs exp from expression.

Analysis show must be taken a parameter to specify how many lines retrieve from the engine.

    Something like:
analysis [s#]
Where s stands for show and the number indicates how many generated lines we want to see.
for the main line only, we could send:
Analysis s1
or, analysis s5 to see the all five lines generated by the engine.

I put my ideas here for your convenience.

When program starts, put a little intro prompt of itself, especially

• including the version number
• Data of last release
• URL of the project
• author's detail
• reminder to call help for menu commands

Hi. One of the main goal when using a CLI application is to be fast and efficient.
What I really like to have will be a shortened format for every command, like p for play, a for analysis and so on.
The shortened form must live together the present one, so everyone can choose what to use.
The shortened form must have preferably 1 character, or 2 or 3 when is needed.
