Hello,
 
I am embarking on a project which will hopefully encompass Winboard.  
 
Basically what I'd like to do is scan a chess diagram into the computer and 
process it into a Winboard position.  
 
I don't know of many chess ocr capabilities, so it looks like writing my own.  
On one side of the screen I would like the imported chess image to fit into a 
data grid and the image split into squares.  On denotion of what squares 
symbolise which pieces I would generate a PGN to be opened up and diplayed in 
the right hand side of the screen as a winboard chess position.  
 
How can I use winboard in this way to program into my application.  Also if you 
have any advice about Chess ocr / recognition please do offer it.
 
Many thanks
David Vernall-Downes
