I checked out a site from the guy who recently signed up at CCC, and it turned out that he got a chess program with own gui. He does however have the sources for the engine and the GUI available seperately at his site. May be Jim or Dann can take a look at it and see what they can do.

Hello Tony,

The c++ source code for the engine compiles as a dll for interfacing with the visual basic gui.

I took a look at the code. It cannot as it stands be compiled as a standalone engine i.e it contains no chess gui protocol,
winboard or uci code, no console commands either - sorry.

I'll have a go at adding a winboard interface, when I get time.

Still, it's a nice chess program running in it's own gui - my compliments to the author.

Jim.
