Subject: question about making my engine winbooard compatible

I started to read tim mann page

http://www.tim-mann.org/xboard/engine-intf.html

I see that tscp that is a winboard engine does not know about a lot of commands.

I think that it may be better if the first thing that they describe there is
only the commands that are needed to play a game under winboard.

I find that the second command protover N is not needed to play a game because
tscp that does not know about it can play under winboard.

It is better to describe a game and the exact commands that winboard send the
engine and not to start by giving a lot of information that most of it is not
relevant  for programmers who want only to tell their program to play under
winboard.
