In ICS's such as Freechess.org engines have the ability to relay their PV info into the kibitz chat.
With the winboard/xboard autoKibitz feature, winboard has the ability to take that info and stick it into the Engine Output window which would then display the data as if it were a local engine being played.

It certainly is an interesting feature with a lot of possibilities for your online tournaments. Perhaps one of these days you might consider incorporating the ability for chess engines to Kibitz their PV info in YaYp. Honestly I'm not sure how this is done normally but definitely food for thought.

I would like to say something about auto kibitzing in the engine room. many people including myself have noticed that there are some players who are using programs (software) to automatically kibitz thousands and thousands of games in the engine room. i am not saying that kibitzing should not be allowed, but it is very different when a human is kibitzing instead of a software. i believe that many good players don't like this and personally i don't like it when i am spending hours and hours in front of my computer, analyzing my games, improving my book, and another player is gathering my games and of course other peoples' games so easily with a software. it is not fair and i think many agree with me.

Kibitzing only happens if you are part of the game, on FICS or in Yay(p) terms if you are in the same room as the game playing. As such it isn't flooding any channels unless you are observing the game. In FICS land kibitzing is reserved for chess programs to relay such info, and whispers are used to talk between players. If you don't want to see such info then don't observe the channel.

If there is spamming of messages happening then it's not "kibitz" sounds like something is "shouting"
