Subject: New options for future chess programs

I think that, today, programs are mainly optimized on strength, but a lot of
improvements are possibles regarding the interface...

This is a list of options I'd like to find on future releases :-)

-Universal Engines Converter:
 To use any kind of engine from all manifactures under the same GUI.

-Speak recognition:
 Voice input: mainly MOVES (for example to play with a microphone from bed), but
it could be funny also to INTERACT with the program while playing (Not so
futuristic... see the Javabot on AI - Artificial Intelligence Movie site).

-Detailed Speaking Commentary:
 After each move, the program gives a short advice about position, strategies,
tactics.. an extension of the actual Talking CD (why not a DVD version?)

... Only some ideas for chess programmers :-)
