Hi,

I've done work in the chess partner that came with rebel 11, chess partner 5,
fritz 6, winboard, and arena with regard to getting my program to work.  They
all vary a lot.  I think fritz feeds the whole move list to the program on each
move. the whole list of moves for the game to date rather than the current move.
Chess partner 5 starts every game with setboard if you set it up for protocol 2
or edit in protocol 1. you get the start fen if you are playing regular chess
from move 1.  The earlier chess partner doesnt do that.  As i remmber though you
had to start the game on black or white because you didnt get go. now you get go
in chess partner 5 but not in at home games :) So as you can see it varies. My
accuracy here may not be 100% as i'm going from memory and expericnce but i
think the point gets through.
