Subject: Technical question regarding interface for CCT

Author: Omid David Tabibi

The main opening book of Falcon is in Shredder Classic format (BOK), but I can
also create a similar book out of my pgn database in Fritz format (CTG). In any
case, Falcon relies on the interface to play the opening moves.

So, AFAIK there is no way to connect either the Fritz or Shredder Classic
interfaces to play on ICC. In that case, and assuming that there is no external
program that can read either BOK or CTG formats and play the moves on behalf of
WinBoard interface, I don't see how Falcon can play in CCT.

It seems that the only interfaces that can connect to ICC are WinBoard and
Arena, none of which have their own book formats (can't compile a book out of a
pgn database).

However, non-winboard engines such as Shredder, Fritz, Junior, and Hiarcs have
already participated in CCT in the past.

What am I missing?!
