Professionals make here GUIs compatible to amateur engines. But the professionals have no interest to make here engine compatible to WinBoard and within compatible to all other important professional GUIs. The amateurs work hand in hand the professionls works not hand in hand so far. But maybe in the future, UCI is one good way by Stefan Meyer-Kahlen and Rudolf Huber. Is the reason now money? No, the professional can more CDs for sell. What is the reason ... false people on the false position ... in my opinion. Furthermore, Chess-Base have a great and own engine concept and a lot of strong programs are running fine under Chess-Base GUIs. Chess-Base make also different things for amateur chess. But the best situation is if Chess-Base make a) Better WinBoard support b) The free UCI concept compatible to Chess-Base 8 and the next Fritz GUI version. Maybe the best way, WinBoard is great and I am a fan from WinBoard but for much persons to complicated. UCI is easy ... We will looked in the future and I think the programmer from Chess Tiger make also a great work. His program is compatible to Chess-Partner, Chess-Assistant, Chess-Base but not to WinBoard or UCI. The interesting professional program is Gandalf by Steen Suurballe, compatible to all commercial GUIs and user have the most possibilitys. Best Frank
