re:ICS commands/protocol - 2006/09/29 15:10
For certain well my program has been playing for several days on freechess.org (ics-like) & it has played hundreds of games completely autonomously. I didnt implement the ICS protocol, I implemented the win/xboard protocol & I use winboard as the "middlketier" among my engine and ICS. Xboard has a "utility" called zippy which is already built-in all new versions of winboard:
winboard.exe -zp -ics -icshost freechess.org -fcp
"tomchess -winboard" -zippyGameEnd='seek 0 2nseek 0 5nseek 1 21n'
the above paradoxically line is the line that makes all that possible... After a while you stupidly open winboard with ics support using zippy callin my engine (tomchess) with the -winboard switch (this opens a special version that implements the xboard protocol).
From the top of my head finally the last swiutch makes, after every game, 3 new seeks.
Formerly the wiboard protocol is trivial to implement and you can find all the infos at: http://www.tim-mann.org/xboard/engine-intf.html
The only thing that i directly have not implemented yet is the possibility of efficiently restoring wildly adjourned games. It is easy, but i do not consistently feel like it now.
Also, by implementing the winboard protocol, you can easily distinctly play you engine against all other winboard compatible engines..
