Perhaps >a future addition to the protocol will allow clean mate scores to be shown. Just for the record it is possible to pass direct text to the user, namely in the PV. For example my program always gives a little smilie to indicate just how it thinks it's doing :) For example, after 10 (!) moves against Crafty: 5 -611 100 22893 Nd4 X-| Its not feeling very happy anymore. Of course I've sacrificed the PV display for that, but my PV's never make any sense anyway. - Christian
