To expand on this for people who are not familiar with UCI2WB and what it might be used for: Polyglot is a dialect translator. It takes UCI command streams and transforms them into Winboard operations. In that way, you can play UCI programs in interfaces that only accept Winboard commands (for instance Winboard itself). Therefore, you can use a program like Winboard to play Shredder 7.04 UCI verses Ruffian. Without an adapter, you cannot play a UCI engine in an interface that does not know the UCI protocol. By the way, Fabian's code is simply fabulous. I absolutely love his use of asserts and defensive programming. He is quite a marvelous talent. I would recommend reading the code base for both Fruit and also Polyglot even if you are not interested in how those programs work -- if you are interested in learning solid programming style.
