Engine can specify promo piece in move it sends, and dumb GUI will obey thay. True problem in large Shogi variants is that there are more piece types thsn letters. (E.g. Taykyoku Shogi has 209 piece types, not counting promotions.) So 2-letter piece names are required. Also gor board files,btw (36x36).

You know engime can already cause popups with reply? (askuser command.)

I guess I could use 'askuser' instead of 'moves' then. But are you sure that will work for you, because a list has to be displayed of all the moves (or promotion pieces ). It looks like askuser is something suitable for edit box
Quote:

askuser REPTAG MESSAGE
Here REPTAG is a string containing no whitespace, and MESSAGE consists of any characters, including whitespace, to the end of the line. xboard pops up a question dialog that says MESSAGE and has a typein box. If the user types in "bar", xboard sends "REPTAG bar" to the engine. The user can cancel the dialog and send nothing.

Then the gui sends back the result to the referee, but we need the gui to finish of making the move. But I guess this is not much of a problem. The list of moves however is necessary, otherwise we assume the gui or user knows what to input in the editbox (i.e promotion pieces etc).

I don't know what we can do about the 209 piece types you mentioned. Even all of ASCII is not enough for that, so a double character looks like a better soulution. But we have to get our fen,move,san,epd parsers rewritten...
