I agree, too. About 2 hours, after I received the Millenium package (with
Shredder 5, SOS and WB-Nimzo), I could play the first engine game with my engine
in UCI mode vs. Shredder. Of course, some issues that where raised here, are
correct (non "standard" pondering, learning) are correct. But to get the basic
functionality seemed as easy as possible. My "main playing loop" is about an
order of magnitude smaller (and much easier to follow) in UCI mode, than in
WB-mode.
