Lex and Odd Gunnar, very nice, when you have such a feature in the WB interface. You might consider, to get it into the WB-Protocol. Otherwise, we might see different solutions soon. It should be added to the protocol by the feature mechanism. It should be well defined, when the new commands are allowed (for example only in force mode - but one would need to think well about this). I prefer the UCI searchmoves semantics - no need for a positive and negative list. Easier to implement for anybody, probably also easier to define it well. Of course, when you want to operate WB-engine manually, the positive and negative list will have huge advantages. But for a protocol, that is aimed for GUI operation, this does not count IMHO. Probably only engine authors operate manually - they can implement what they want anyway for the console mode. A real user that wants to use such a feature would need, to read some documentation. No big problem, I think. In Yace I have some sort of interactive mode, to enable and disable root moves for analysis/search. Regards, Dieter
