It recognizes it but the point is that Movei also plays on ICC as a winboard
engine.
I want to know if it plays in a chess server and not if it plays under winboard
that it always does.
I can use some command in the new protocol but I am not sure if I implement
kibitzing correctly.
Should I try to use the last version that does not work under winboard on ICC
first?
