One of the CB guys responsible for the design, Matthias Wüllenweber, made a few
comments at the German forum CSS some weeks ago. I didn't catch all of it, but I
believe that the excuse was based on the intended use for WinBoard engines IIRC.
The main emphasis was providing the opportunity to use WinBoard engines for
analysis. Not for engine matches as such. But I think Thomas Mayer would know
better, and in much greater detail, because he was the one discussing the topic
with Wüllenweber.
