I would like to use GNUchess (or something else) to generate a list of legal
moves for a given position. I plan to use TCL to interface with the program
via STDIN and STDOUT. The GNUchess command "test movelist" looks promising,
but I don't see how I can call GNUchess from the command line to execute
that one command, send the result to STDOUT, and return to TCL.

Is there a simple change to the source I could make to have GNUchess do
this? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks, Ed Suominen
