Hi Dave, as I have explained already often: a) UCI still is not officially supporting Chess960, b) Winboard has contradicting rules for to encode castlings and makes artificial distinctions between 'normal', 'nocastle' and 'fischerandom', which could be completly covered by supporting X-FEN strings. Smirf is a system of GUI and engine which is able to play 8x8 and 10x8 chess downward compatible variants. There is no multi-engine GUI known to me, which would support such geometries and the capablanca piece set. But if there would be an Chess960 covering extension of the UCI protocol I think, that Smirf will have soon an UCI enabled twin. Nevertheless I am planning to support a new remote chess protocol to enable competitions also between different 10x8 chess programs. Regards, Reinhard.
