I aggreed Deep Full with you :-)

Little correction:
WinBoard (in my list 134 programs, but I have not all).
UCI 7 + 6-8 in the next editions, but here with an other name, WinBoard is not
the right name. But I try that all programs also are compatible to WinBoard. I
think the most are compatible to WinBoard.

I make support for all chess products, also Hiarcs 1 (nice GUI) or Tjes ...

Best
