I am working now together with Yasser Seirawan to get the variant he and Bruce Harper invented (also known as S-Chess) running on the open-source ICS code. I have set up the Fairy-Max bot on my ICS to now also take challenges in variant seirawan.

Those interested are invited to give it a try, either by playing each other, or playing the Fairy-Max bot. To start an S-Chess game when logged on to the ICS, you can use the command:

match FairyMax 5 1 sc

(the sc here means S-Chess = variant seirawan; gc would be variant gothic, km would be knightmate, su would be SuperChess = variant super. 5 1 means 5min +1 sec/move, as usual, and in stead of FairyMax you could of course type the name of another opponent).

To connect to the ICS you can use the command

winboard -ics -icshost 80.100.28.169 -icshelper timeseal

or tick 'use an ICS' in the startup dialog, and select the 80.100.28.169 line from the ICS combobox. You can then type a name of your choosing to login as a guest.

I plan to develop an engine that can play variant seirawan, how can I send to winboard a move if I plan to drop an elephant at g1 after playing g1f3 (a knight move from g1 to f3) say from starting position? Is g1f3(Eg1) correct? How the fen would look like? Any other hints would be much appreciated.
From the rule:
Code:

When a player first moves a piece from its original square, that player has the option of placing the Hawk or Elephant on the vacated square, as part of the player's move. Thus if a player played Ng1-f3, he or she could place the Hawk or Elephant on g1. The move would be recorded as 1.Nf3(Hg1).

Another rule:
Code:

Since each side has eight pieces (K, Q, R, R, B, B, N, N), a player has eight opportunities to bring the Hawk and Elephant into play. If a player fails to do so, the unplaced piece remains out of play.

Would this mean there is a limit on placing the new pieces? If yes any sample situation?
