Chess

As I mentioned previously, I've started working on FICSiface, a toolkit for hooking things (humans, computers etc) up to the Free Internet Chess Server. Well, it's coming along nicely, although hasn't actually got to the point of playing games yet. Here's a sneak preview of what I've done so far:

• FICSiface, a class that will connect to FICS and facilitate traffic two ways (FICSiface fires events for happenings such as receiving shouts, tells, challenges, moves etc; this should make it a doddle to write new interfaces in C#.
• Testbed, a simple sort of test harness for FICSiface, which is a full-featured FICS client (in the same way that Telnet is a full-featured FICS client ;-) ).
• SkottelServer, a Windows service that logs into FICS and does stuff.
