Perhaps. But this was really not my point.

Correct.

Sorry, I neither have the time at the moment, nor do I understand winboard
sources enough. It might not be totally trivial to add it.

Chesspartner does some kibitzing - but it will not do a nice job because it will
not kib for each move, and for some moves it will kib more than once. Also you
often will see some kibitzed PV for a wrong ponder move, which is rather
confusing for the observer (who cannot know it in general).

Seems Fabien is implementing some kibitz support in Polyglot. Then you may have
the situation, that adding 2 filters - wb2uci and polyglot - will give you
kibitzing.

Now we have the situation, that any author has to write basically exactly the
same code (unless he has Chesspartner or Chessassistent?). And if he wants to do
it nice and userfriendly probably lots of runtime options, like please in
general kib vs. (C), whisper vs. human, but please not this game, etc. Would all
be more appropriate for the interface.

Dieter
