Concerning ICC: Kiwipete (you know, the guy with that famous movegeneration test position :) solved it nicely by saying "+whatever by white/black". It's clear for everyone and it's trivial to implement... I don't know why no-one else uses this scheme (afaik). Sinan (my chess engine) will definitely use this (hopefully not copyrighted) scheme when whispering eval on ICC. Of course it will be a ridiculous eval, but at least everyone will know for which side it is. :) Or I could use + for side to move, when it's the engine's move, + for white when in analyzing mode - except on Tuesday and Friday afternoon. :) Sargon
