Hello Max,

does your application support WinBoard a.k.a. CECP http://home.hccnet.nl/h.g.muller/engine-intf.html - http://hgm.nubati.net/CECP.html and/or Universal Chess Interface a.k.a. UCI http://www.shredderchess.com/download.html - http://download.shredderchess.com/div/uci.zip ?

Both protocols are very common and are compatible with more than 500 chess engines nowadays.cf. CCWiki GUI Engine List

http://computer-chess.org/doku.php?id=computer_chess:wiki:lists:gui_protocol_support_list

By the way: Exists of Qt-Chess a Windows binary (32/64 bit) and what other applications are required to run it correctly? I am not a programmer of course, only a tester of chess graphical interfaces > CCWiki http://computer-chess.org/doku.php

Do you have plans to connect Qt-Chess with internet chess servers like FICS http://www.freechess.org/ or ICC https://www.chessclub.com/ ?

Qt chess has been dead since I converted over to a UCI interface and created the new repo StuckFish. It ended up seeming like not a good use of time since I was more interested in building the engine rather than the GUI. For the moment I'm pretty sure it'll stay dead, but maybe I'll pick it up again in the future if I need experience using Qt or something.
