Not help, but congratulation message ! I wanted use chest for some time now (about 1 year), I've read a part of the help file to know how to solve "regular" mate (I think that most of user use this feature) and try some positions in command line style, but a didn't like CLI, and I thank you very much for you attempt !! An other idea : is it possible to convert chest into an UCI or winboard engine (or better : in a mate searcher engine in chessbasse interface !!)
