The other widely known protocol is UCI.  It has an official homepage, but a more
useful link is http://www.uciengines.de/index.html

IMHO, Winboard is the preferred protocol amongst chess engine authors.  WB
provides the engine with more info on which to base move selection and book
learning.  I think if you ask 100 engine authors, "If you were allowed to
support only one chess communication protocol, which would it be?", I believe
most would choose WB over UCI.

Each protocol as both good and bad points.  Perhaps there's room for a 3rd
protocol?
