Forget my previous reply. I understand what you're saying now. You would just
put a warning in your spec to the effect that if you want your engine to work in
Chessmaster, you should send coordinate, and this would be similar in nature to
the Chessbase warning. That would be fine, although it may be premature, as I'm
not SURE that the development team has ruled out supporting SAN or not.
