Go up one level in this thread
A few tips: 1. make it directly a protocol 2 compatible. 2. Implememt "xboard", "new", "go" and "quit". 3. Use the "usermove" feature. And test until you can send and receive every move correctly, including promotions and special moves. 4. Implement "time" and let it play Xmin/40 moves games and see if everything works fine. 5. We sure to poll for "force" during search, otherwise you'll have troubles. 6. Implement "level", "setboard" and "result" and other useful commands. Put debug code at every command you receive from WB and make your engine report (printf) that it received the command. And use the debug mode in WB. Only this way you can know what is happening. Implement one command a time and make sure it is bugless. And don't copy directly from TSCP - that way you'll never understand what is happening. Severi
