Yes, a program (or its proxy), will be given a login script to run prior to the start of play and also for use in case a game is interrupted. Pairings will be announced prior to the start of the event. >>The >>tournament organizer will provide a chess server used by the entrants for the >>event and it will use a well documented communication protocol. > >Will the server be compatible with ICC or FICS?

An even simpler alternative would be to just send EPD strings back and forth; I suspect that nearly all programs have used EPD test suites, so this should be a minimal modification to existing source.
