There seems to be an autotester out Writing an autotester for CPIP programs should be very simple... I had plans to do it this week, but I've been sidetracked a bit. If somebody else wants to do it, they're more than welcome. In fact, I have an "engine_class" class in CPView (in engine.cpp) that makes opening/closing/etc. a CPIP chess program almost trivial... >Anyway, I strongly support your efforts and would like to >see a standard that is non-commercial.

Actually, something I was thinking about last night is a "glue" program for XBoard. You would run it as the chess engine and it would translate between a CPIP program and XBoard. I think this would be a good setup until XBoard gets CPIP support. Cheers, Tom
