Subject: CM9000 Top ten poll

Author: jonas cohonas

I would like to make a poll/list of things i as a costumer would like to see in
the next ver. CM9000

1. UCI (=universal chess interface) Comatability for testing and convenience
purposes (and a patch which converts previous ver. to uci, so you can match the
previous ver.).

2. Better xboard/winboard compatability.

3. The option of thinking lines, kN/s, and engine eval. in tournamentplay.

4. Engineratings Both native CM9 personallities and winboardengines, which will
always be updated so you can determine which settings/engines are the strongest.

5. Unlimeted CM9 per./engines entries in R-Robin and swiss style tournaments.

6. Better and more functional .pgn import when creating a new book ( i always
get the same "import error" when trying to make a new book, also the # of games
allowed for import should be unlimited, maby a possibility of importing
chessbase format books and database files, it is possible in chessbase to import
.obk format so why not the other way around?

7. A whole different chess server for live play, since there is no one in the
CM8 live room EVER, this might be a good idea. Maby the possibility to connect
to icc, fics etc.. with youe existing handle and pass?

8. Better hashtables handling, what is so hard about having the option of
assigning the same hash for all the engines/personallities without having to
create new per.?

9. Book.lrn, endgame support !!

10. The possibility of importing Gif, jpeg etc for engines and personalities

This was my top ten list, the list goes on but i would like to hear your top
whatever list 1-100.

Regards
Jonas
