Hi all,
My students and I are currently developing a freeware chess training
software (not a chess playing program). We would like to be able to call
an existing freely available engine from our program to evaluate positions
and give feedback to the user.
I read through the documentation of Crafty and know how to use it
from the command line in a DOS box. Now I would like to find information
on how to call Crafty (or another free engine) from our own software.
Ideally, we would input a position in FEN and get as output an evaluation
and a PV (or several PVs).
Since Crafty if available as source code, I understand that it is
possible to customize the code and recompile. But is there some way to
call an executable version, as we do not wish to concentrate on the
(complex) chess playing algorithm, but rather on the chess training part.
Thanks for any input.
