If I may make a suggestion, make it compatible with SCID. I use Crafty for analysis in SCID and it works very nicely. SCID does not play games, but I like the analysis function it provides. Also, like Crafty, keep the score absolute, i.e. positive (+) for a white advantage and negative (-) for a black advantage no matter whose side it is to move. Regards, Steve
