I think i will implement it in the following way: I will add a value to my INI file which i can set to -kibitz -whisper -none So if Holmes plays on a chess server (the command ics from Winboard tells Holmes that) then i will send after each move: "tellics kibitz pv score bla bla bla..." or "tellics whisper pv score bla bla bla..." or nothing depending on my setting in the INI. Is it possible to connect to a chess server with 2 different loggins on one computer, like Tim describes? That would be great. I tryd to get a computer account at FICS before about a halv year, but it was not possible to enter datas for a computer account there, only for a human account. So can i test my engine with a human account? have a nice day Andreas PS: also thanks to Gerd and Uli (I hope we meet us all in Paderborn next year :) >kibitz is one Internet chess server command (ICS, works on FICS like servers, >chess.net and ICC) to communicate with other users.
