I have a query. Is there some program which, given a Chess position and which player has the move, can output a (preferably numbered) list of the possible moves for that player in that position?
The only thing I can think of is having a look at 'gnuchess'. There's no useful man page, but the info page lists some stuff that could be of help.
I ran xboard (gnuchess frontend perhaps?) and it has some options that could be useful for setting up a board visually, and also seems to output a list of possible moves at each stage for the computer player.
This suggests that perhaps with enough tinkering, it could do what you want.
