I agree entirely that this would be nice, but I don't see how this is related to the use of console IO. It is obviously possible to extend the xboard protocol to support other games. In fact, I am using an extension of the xboard protocol when adding support for hexagonal chess in Gothmog. >As I have told: if you are satisfied with them - fine! I am not.

I was wondering why you why you are not satisfied with the existing protocols, why you think it would be better to replace them with something entirely new instead of extending them, and why you consider the use of console IO to be disadvantageous.
