I had worked on protocol version 2 for quite some time before posting it for comments, of course; that should be obvious from the number of changes from version 1 and the fact that I had the changes implemented in WinBoard at the time I posted the document. At the moment UCI was released, WinBoard protocol version 2 had been 99% ready to post for comments for a few weeks, but I hadn't quite gotten around to pushing it out the door yet. Seeing UCI posted did give me a small additional push to finish the last 1% of getting the document polished and posting it. UCI didn't influence any of the WinBoard protocol's features; they were already set at the time I first saw UCI. If UCI had never been released at all, my protocol revision would have gone out at roughly the same time it did in reality, with exactly the same features. --Tim
