Gerold,

there already are a lot of 10x8 Gothic Chess enabled programs, also for Janus
Chess. Actually there is a remote protocol being developed, to enable those
stand alone-engines to simply communicate (slightly comparable to autoplayer).

There are a lot of Chess960 aware engines now, about 24 will play in the Mainz
Chess960 event in August.

But there is no other engine known to me (besides of Zillions) which could play
seriously 8x8 and 10x0 Chess like Smirf is doing with an unique engine.

Reinhard,
