Hello >How should the interface ask the engine to setup the starting position? > >In my UCI-xboard adapter, I send "position startpos". Do engines expect >"position startpos moves", with nothing after "moves"??? In other words, is the >"moves" argument mandatory, even if there is no move to send? "position startpos" is enough. No "moves" command needed. If you want the engine to start a game you need to send position startpos go of course you need the time or infinite additionally. Ingo BTW: There is an extension for the UCI protokoll available since yesterday. You now have the new command "ucinewgame" (self explaining!). The only GUI that is supporting this today is the new Shredder Classic GUI but I hope others will follow. Download the new specification here: http://www.shredderchess.de/uci.zip
