UCI-compatible interface for 10x8 chess?

Post by Norbert Raimund Leisner »

Hello!

Does anybody know an UCI-compatible GUI for 10x8 chess that works
without converter (like WB2UCI, Polyglot etc) ?

At the moment some improvements of "Smirf" for 10x8 by Reinhard Scharnagl are (probably) possible.

Best wishes,
Norbert

Winboard easily is the best for what you are looking for. Not to say the only one available. :D

WinBoard does not support UCI without the use of an adapter. I don´t know if that is bad, because I also do not know any UCI 10x8 engine.

Perhaps ChessGUI natively supports UCI for 10x8?

Cutechess-cli also supports 10x8 variants, if a command line interface is enough.

BigLion is the only one I know.

Could be, but BigLion80 is also WinBoard. So it can run under WinBoard without using an adapter.

My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.
