Hi, I have followed a bit of the discussion about UCI over the last couple days. I am currently slowly working on a rewrite of my engine (Chester). One of the reasons for the rewrite is that my game state management code (among other parts) was unpleasant. I would say this was my fault, not the xboard protocol's, but regardless it was something that always bugged me. This time around I am going slowly and doing things "right" the first time. I am nearing the time where I want to implement a protocol for connecting to a GUI. The talk about UCI was interesting for that reason. I haven't followed the discussion here much lately, and so my knowledge of UCI support out there is limitted. I will want to attach to ICC and play automated games, potentially leaving the engine running for hours or days on end. Is there an interface out there that supports automated ICC play with a UCI engine? Does Fritz 7 or another product do this without using winboard? One other question as well -- in these implementations of UCI, can you pass command line arguments to the engine? I don't see anything about this in the spec. Sorry if this stuff is common knowledge, I haven't been following things much lately. Thanks for the info. - Steve
