Enhancements & bugfixes by Zyzol.
Zyzol runs the Polish LPPS Tournament/Site

1. Support for wb "setboard" command and change support wb "go" command.
2. Information to winboard changed. Now additional information can be sent from winboard to pgn file.
3. Because engine cannot properly guess 3 fold repetitions, rule added,
if score >= 150 and engine time >= 2/3 opponent time, engine will not guess three fold repetitions and 50 move rules.
4. A return to Author's time management idea to sometimes add 1 ply to search depth. This boosts engine power and improves gameplay.
5. Bugfix for pawn promotion. Send move g2g1Q to Winboard instead of g2g1H.

Knightmate variant chess engines

The Rules Of Knightmate Chess

Knightmate Chess is identical to regular chess except that the kings and knights swap places, and the object is to checkmate the knight (royal knight).

In other words, you start out with one knight in the king position (royal knight), and two kings (commoners) where the knights used to be. The commoners move like kings but can be taken. Castling is permitted by the royal knight, and en passant is supported. A pawn can promote to a king, but not a royal knight.
Just like the king, a royal knight cannot move into check, and it must move out of check on the very next move.

All other rules are the same as regular chess.
