Hi Eric, > Can someone give link to info about making chess program to play on > BlitzIn(ICC)and also for Winboard. I had a link to one but can't find it. I > need to know the commands and other things and I don't want to write my own > interface. In BlitzIn you can't implement chess engines for several reasons... What you need is the winboard-protocol. When you have implemented the protocol in your engine, it is quite easy to connect with it to ICC, FICS etc. Also you can use your engine then in several fine GUIs, like ChessPartner, ChessAssistant, ChessAcademy, ChessMaster 8000 (to name those GUIs which have implemented the procol in a fine and stable way) The protocol description could be find here: http://www.tim-mann.org/xboard/engine-intf.html Some nice source-examples could be find here: http://home.earthlink.net/~tckjr/ (TSCP from Tom Kerrigan) http://www.seanet.com/~brucemo/gerbil/gerbil.htm (Gerbil from Bruce Moreland) http://www.ast.cam.ac.uk/~cmf/chess/beowulf.html (Beowulf from Colin Frayn / Dann Corbit) that might give you a good starting point. Greets, Thomas
