HFP Of course you could play it with other programs, entering its moves manually. I prosume you are targeting a way to do this automatically. But unfortunately there still are no other programs supporting a usable protocol, which would also support even 10x8 chess. That has been the reason for me to write an own GUI and to publish an open TMCI protocol proposal. But reducing SMIRF's concept to its 8x8 ability alone would ignore the covering FullChess idea to support a lot of variants, which each compatibly extend the rules of traditional chess. I am sorry about that SMIRF's own GUI seems to be ignored completely by you. If you are interested in a superior playing chess engine, there are well known representants, mentioned nearly every second posting here during the last time. Nevertheless SMIRF is no more playing really weak. Especially in 10x8 chess it is on the way into better times. But I remember that during the days of the first chess computer sets it has been possible somehow to estimate their strength. Today for sure there should be even more possibilities. Regards, Reinhard.
