Dear GNU Chess developers, I would very much want the GNU Chess install to contain a file /usr/[local/]share/games/plugins/xboard/gnuchess.eng containing the 3 lines
plugin spec 0.0 gnuchess -x chess This would make XBoard automatically recognize the presence of GNU Chess on the system, and add it to its internal list of engines that can be selected by the user from the Load Engine menu dialog, or as a tournament participant in the Tournament Options dialog. This would save users the trouble of opening a terminal and typing things like "xboard -fcp gnuchess", (and typing does not seem to be of this age anymore). (The second line is supposed to be the command needed to run the engine in XBoard (CECP) mode; I hope I got that right.) It would also be nice if the GNU Chess install could contain a logo, which GUIs could display when they run the engine. This should preferably be a 100x50 or 130x65 png image, installed as: /usr/[local/]share/games/plugins/logos/gnuchess.png I attached a suggestion for this. Would you be willing to do this? Regards, H.G. Muller
