I was thinking it might be a good project for one of us computer chess nerds. I've often thought it would be interesting to create of meta-protocol and a GUI that supported the meta-protocol. Let's say the meta-protocol's command for a new game was "newgame", and the xboard command is "new", and the Chess Tiger TUI command is "reset" (just an example). We could have a config file (configurable through a GUI or text editor) and do something like: newgame=reset, and then the meta-protocol GUI would support Chess Tiger. The GUI could support engines that don't support any protocol, as well as xboard and UCI, and whatever other text pipe protocols were created in the future. >I'm using a terrific product called Win4Lin.

When you say "specific hardware", does that include things like MMX? For instance, could you run Fritz MMX, or only Fritz?
