Items are in random order, mostly reverse chronological.
Top priority:
* When working in ICS, first game will fail to work post.
* Add auto-completion command based on readline.
* Clean and refurbish frontend new code: components.cc, engine.cc, etc.
* Add support for Chess Engine Communication Protocol version 2.
http://www.open-aurec.com/wbforum/WinBoard/engine-intf.html
* GA/EC venture to make the chess engine stronger.
* End-game table
* Get benefit from multiple-core processors, by sharing search across them.
Normal priority:
* Evaluate the possibility to include an option 'enable/disable bigboard', to show a bigger board.
* 'pgnsave' will not save a file identical to the original in a sequence pgnload-pgnsave.
* 'manual' and 'force' are almost identical, except for the order they do things. See cmd.cc.
* 'name <myname>' forces output redirection to a log file. Comparing with version 5.08, some of the output is lost.
* Consider adding resign and draw offer commands.
* Add analysis tools for the evaluation function.
* Commands white/black/switch don't work. They are supposed to be
used for icsDrone. However, icsDrone reports to not work for
GNU Chess 5.02. Neither for v6...
* General cleanups: still some unused code from v5.
* Implement the weak mode.
* Improve compatibility with Chess Engine Communication Protocol.
For instance, 'move e2e4' instead of 'My move is : e2e4'.
* Add support for MS Windows.
* icsdrone for Internet
* When 'name NAME' is used, the log.nnn file is created, but it will miss
to include some information compared with v5.
* Consider using gnulib for better portability.
* Include PolyGlot's book making capability.
* Include PolyGlot's book merging capability.
* Bug: in FICS, after quiting in the middle of a game, logging in again,
accepting resuming game as proposed by opponent, the opponent moved but
GNU Chess never moved again. GNU Chess ran out of it.
