How can I interface my own chess program to XBoard or WinBoard?

This is a non-trivial task. XBoard and WinBoard were not designed with a clean interface for talking to chess programs; they were written to work with an existing version of GNU Chess that expects to be talking to a person. Your program has to emulate GNU Chess's rather idiosyncratic command structure to work with XBoard and WinBoard.

We are gradually cleaning up, improving, and documenting the interface as newer versions of XBoard and WinBoard come out, however. For documentation, see the file engine-intf. Html, included in both distributions or available from my chess Web page, http://www.research.digital.com/SRC/personal/Tim_Mann/chess.html .

The version of engine-intf. Html on my Web page is often more up-to-date than those in the XBoard/WinBoard distributions. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
