With respect this is nonesense. There is no reason at all to clear the hash, killer or historytable just because you're under UCI. Monarch doesn't and I doubt Shredder, YACE or Sjeng do either. As for running in a dumber state - Shredder is top of the SSDF so this doesn't add up. >As mentioned learning is made harder and the engine can't resign or offer >draws. > >So in UCI the engine is not a fully legit chessplayer, it is more like an >analysis tool used by the GUI to play games. It is correct that the engine has less control on draw offering and resigning. >I personally see the winboard protocol as being better, although none of them >are perfect of course. I disagree and I suspect other such as SMK, GCP and Dieter and Bas Hamstra do also Cheers Steve
