Subject: Suggestion for All Automated Programs on Chess Servers

Author: Peter McKenzie

Date: 16:00:15 02/25/00


With more and more programs (both commercial and amateur) becoming active on the
servers, it would be nice if programmers could get their programs to do a couple
of things:

1. Kibitz program identity at start of each game.
2. Set first line of finger notes to show program name and version (other
details might be nice here too: hash table size, book size etc).

This was first done by crafty I think, I have been doing it with LambChop for a
while too.  It is a nice feature and avoids alot of mystery and needless
questions.  Also, it helps prevent cheating!

What do you think?

cheers,
Peter
