Hi David,

same question here. I have some code implemented, but i'm not sure if it's
enough for the CCT5.
I send in Holmes only kibitz output after the move was made and not during the
search. And my outputs after a "book move", playing a move "from pondering" and
after the "normal search" are different.
It would be nice if there are well defined rules which describes "what" the
engine has to output and when (after search or also during the search).
And i send only kibitz output if the opponent is a computer (this should be send
by Winboard). If the opponent is not a computer (Winboard doesn't send the
command "computer" to Holmes) then Holmes sends "tellics whisper ..." instead of
"tellics kibitz ...".

excamples from Holmes:

book move:
tellics kibitz  ply: 1  time: 0:00,00  pv: e2e4 (opening book)

normal search:
tellics kibitz score: +0.06  ply: 8  time: 0:09,09  kN: 537  kNs: 59  pv: 2.Nf3
Nf6 3.d3 d6 4.c4 c5 5.Nc3 Nbd7
or if there are tb hits
tellics kibitz score: +4.00  ply: 9  time: 0:17,88  kN: 731  kNs: 41  tb_hits:
20093  pv: 1.Kh4 Qd8+ 2.Kg3 Qd3+ 3.Kh4

move playd from ponder search:
tellics kibitz score: +0.07  kN: 943  pv: e3 (move from permanent brain)

I cannot give a pv after a ponder hit, because my root search function gets only
the best move from my ponder function.

have a nice day
Andreas
