Hi,

As a consequence of this bug report

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-chess/2009-08/msg00000.html

I started working on the GnuChess source to

(1) fix bugs like the ones above;

(2) make gnuchess compliant with the modern
Chess Engine Communication Protocol as described here
http://home.hccnet.nl/h.g.muller/engine-intf.html

(3) make the GnuChess source more object oriented;

(4) implement modern search ideas (like Late Move Reductions).

My latest version can be found here

See also this post on the Winboard Forum

which contains further details and some data on strength improvement.

Give it a try!
