icsdrone is an interface between a chess server and a chess engine
....
- Auto reconnection in case of network problems.
- Builtin support for using timeseal.
- An ICS proxy.
When instructed via the "proxy" option, icsdrone acts as a proxy for the ICS it is connected to. This is similar to using xboard with zippy but now the "GUI" (xboard/winboard) can be closed without terminating the engine.
Chessd is a chess XMPP based server. It uses a web interface and a BOSH server, that runs between interface and the chess server. Visit http://xadrezlivre.c3sl.ufpr.br to see it in action.
