Chess variant engines and CECP (XBoard) protocol[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Good news.  I think I have ChessV working as a stand-alone CECP engine now.  I've played a few variants with it under Winboard and it seems to be working pretty well.  There's a little more that could be done but all the core functionality is there.

I haven't messed with programming Quadrox for CwDA yet but ChessV is ready when Kingslayer is (although I have not programmed understanding of all the endgames you've categorized yet...)  I've also been putting a lot of work into increasing its strength.  I have been playing 1600 game matches against FairyMax, Capablanca and variants, and it is now testing 106 ELO stronger than FairyMax.  I haven't tested recently, but it is probably still a good 150 ELO weaker than Joker80.
