I think Steven Edwards tossed around an idea at one point of an amateur computer
chess ICS.  I don't really have time to help out with anything like that, but it
could be fairly useful.  Aside from solving your problem, it could also do
things that humans aren't particularly interested in, like "seek 5 0 10", for "I
want to play a match of 10 300+0 games".
