chess protocols WinBoard/CECP - UCI for your engine #1

Hello maumay,

does your application play normal chess and 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 GUiIEngine List

Hi sorry for the (extremely) late reply! I hadn't seen the issue. Thanks for making it, at the moment it doesn't no but I agree it definitely needs to. I'm going to spend some time writing a proper unit test suite first though. I was a bit foolish in this regard.
