How can I interface my own chess program to WinBoard?

Postby matb » 01 Apr 2010, 11:21

Hello everybody!
I have done my own chess engine (created in c++) and I would like to interface it to winboard. I have understood that there is a protocol of comunication between the engine and the winboard (I have already read Tim Mann's Chess Pages) but I don't know how to do it. Can somebody help me? Are there some examples to understand how to do it?
Thanks everyone.

Hi Mat,

Easiest way to understand how to implement winboard protocol is to study code from a
simple winboard chess engine. I learned how to do it by studying the src code of Mscp & Tscp.
