Hi,
I would like to find out more about chess engines from the programmer's
point of view. Are there any general specifications that allow me to
create an engine that can be loaded by the common front ends? I could
not find much about this on the web, does anyone know anything about
this?
Kind regards,
Olli

If you want to make your engine compatible with common front ends, you
have to make your engine use either the WinBoard protocol or the UCI
protocol (or both protocols, if you feel ambitious).
The Winboard protocol is described here:
http://www.tim-mann.org/xboard/engine-intf.html
The UCI protocol is described here:
