Go up one level in this thread


Hi again,

I agree with a lot of suggestions. I sum up adding my opinions:

a) the protocol should be in English, localisation is the job of a GUI
b) the protocol should be based on UTF-8
c) option names should not include spaces, instead used '_' could
   be shown as spaces by the GUI, but they should be simply ONE word
d) the pondering should only be done by giving the engine the chance to
   calculate - there is no need to communicate whether the awaited move
   has been taken or not - the engine would know it receiving the answer

Reinhard.
