Description

Hey, I would like to practice my endgames with Maia Chess engine. Can we support API where external engine can do moves? Currently as I understand external engines can only give suggestions and cannot play/execute moves. Thanks.

Research direction

Start by reading how the external-engine API currently handles engine suggestions and how Maia Chess is expected to connect. Clarify the move-execution flow and confirm that an external engine can play endgames through the API, not only return suggestions.
