Any decent GUI (and probably many non-decent GUIs) already have a feature to output FEN strings, so this should be maybe adding a variable or two, and a couple of simple functions. This is already how UCI engines work IIRC (send the FEN string after every move, followed by the movelist), so it should be a trivial fix for UCI GUIs. >Not only that, I'd say an engine simply doesn't play the game legally if it >doesn't know the rules. But that isn't true Sune. If you live your life and do not do anything illegal, then it doesn't matter if you knew all of the laws or not.
