Hello Stefan,

Is there a chance that we will see further improvements to the UCI protocol ?
I guess these issues have been discussed before a lot, just to mention a few:

- let the engine decide about resignation and draw.
  This is even more interesting if the engine can take the opponent's ELO
  into account (e.g. don't offer draws to weak opponents).
- support for ICS commands like tell, whisper, etc.

I would like to propose these ideas:

- "info bookmove": output information about available book moves during the
  opening, which might be interesting for engines that have their own book
  (see also the XBoard command "bk")

- "option type file" for options that contain files or paths (e.g. NalimovePath)
  the GUI could display a button with a file chooser dialog, instead of a plain
  text input field


Regards,
Peter
