More than 90% of Arasan users are using the built-in GUI, not Winboard. They just install it, start it up and start using it. Judging from questions and comments I've gotten back, a lot of them don't even ever change the default settings. Winboard is an extra install plus some hookup and that's too much trouble. There are other programs such as Bringer that have reasonable built-in GUIs, too. I don't think even an easy to install GUI on a freeware engine is really competition for the commercial programs. Chessmaster is cheap and you get a lot for your money. But a lot of people seem happy with freeware. --Jon
