I think so.

Use Winboard compatible programs.  You can get the source code to about a dozen
of them, from club player to {quite possibly} GM strength.

The source to Winboard is available.  There are also Java chess interface
systems that you could study.

Winboard information:
http://www.research.digital.com/SRC/personal/mann/chess.html
http://f11.parsimony.net/forum16635/

Chess programming:
http://www.chess-space.com/programming.shtml

If you do use source from another author, make sure that the usage is acceptable
and that the original author is credited.

If you choose a Winboard interface, even some of the top commercial programs can
be used.

You might find something useful at my FTP site also:
