Hi, This question is about crafty in particular, but it's more about any winboard engine that behaves like this. I am writing an adapter for a soon-to-be-online chess club (i.e. it will allow any winboard-compatible engine to play there using this adapter) and I have a problem with crafty : I expected it to send its moves like 'move e7e5', instead it sends them as 'move e5', which of course gives me some headaches. My question is : is there a way to tell any winboard-compatible engine to send its moves like 'e7e5' instead of just 'e5' ? Or do I have to bite the bullet and write the code to parse such short moves ? In particular : if there is no general way to do this, is it possible to have it just for Crafty ? Thanks, Andrei
