I can add also that for me finding the right places to change is also time
For example
I now changed a line by adding ics=1
finding the line took me a minute.
Here is the new line
printf("feature setboard=1 draw=0 analyze=1 ping=1 ics=1 done=1\n");
Now I need to add ics code and I am not sure about it
if (!strcmp(command, "ics"))
{
}
Should I do the same as I do in the level command and read the next string after
ics and to tell the computer that it is playing on ICC if the string is
different than "-"?
