OpenChess

I am working on a Java chess GUI (likely called SpartaChess ), and would like to implement both UCI and WB protocols. The UCI specification is very detailed and easy to find on www.shredderchess.com, but where can I find a similarly detailed specification for the WB protocol (latest version, I have no interest in WinBoard 1).

Thanks,
Peter

P.S. You can expect the GUI to be released in a very primitive state in a month or 2.

Or you could do it like other programmers, just, implement UCI and release your engine with the Winboard adapter.

Adapters are less convenient, IMO. But the first few versions might be like that, as there are a lot more UCI engines than WB engines. Somewhere along the road though, I want native WinBoard support.
