You only need to be sure you implement the "force" command so
that you can resume adjourned games.

Once you get things working with xboard and get comfortable on ICC,
you might want to try Robofics.  Robofics runs on Unix systems and
uses the same command interface to your program as xboard.  It is
nice because it doesn't take up an x-term and can be manipulated
remotely with little trouble.

The only wrinkle is that it is designed for FICS, so some of the
server command strings are slight different on ICC.  I've hacked
my own version of Robofics to handle this with no trouble. (I've
also added some extra abilities like a pre-set shutdown time.)
I'd be happy to share my changes with you or anyone who is
interested.
