I know there are some pretty nice open-source chess engines with powerful AI, like Crafty, that also have a nifty command line interface.

I also know that I can send e-mails with my SMS-capable phone, and that I can reply to such an e-mail, and it will be sent to my phone as a SMS text message.

Is there any way I can combine the two? For example, text message a command like “Nd3” to an e-mail monitored by a computer, which sends the command to Crafty, and e-mails back the response?

I wasn’t sure which site to post this one on; hopefully this is appropriate.

    Instead of parsing emails back and forth, you could use one of the SMS gateways out there like Twilio that supports sending and receiving messages via HTTP POST requests. I don’t know of any free ones off hand that do it this way, but using regular ol’ HTTP could save you a lot of time fussing with email servers and such.

    Full disclosure: I work at Twilio.
