If you open up Chess Courier to outside clients, then people can design
clients on their own, to provide additional functionality, so you don't
have to.
It's called Game Courier, and that's just too vague an assertion. My question is what additional functionality could they add?
It would also provide a way for IAGO to also capture stats.
IAGO's ability to capture stats doesn't motivate me. After all, I'm not involved with IAGO.
In addition, the standards for communication could also enable people who
create AIs to be able to interface with the CV site, to provide people a
chance to play against AIs on here.
I don't know if I want that here. One thing I like about Game Courier is that it connects people together. If I want to play an AI, I can already use Zillions of Games, ChessV, Coffee Chinese Chess, etc. Besides, why would you want to play an AI through a website when you can just as well play against your own computer?
If you don't allow for this, you will have to do all the work. It
requires yourself to be a master of everything.
I don't mind mastering lots of things, and I enjoy the sense of accomplishment I get from it. Besides, Game Courier is already incredibly functional, and I expect most of the work is behind me.
