Enhanced GnuChess version

[Michel Van den Bergh]

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

which contains further details and some data on strength improvement.

Give it a try!
