I would not make a GUI that is not WB compatible... it would be crazy, it is de facto standard. So, it would be interesting a GUI that is both, winboard and whatever other protocol you might want to include, for instance, UCI. However, I am not sure if it is possible because the spirit of the two protocols might be different. One thing is for sure: WB protocol is being revised and updated constantly, UCI, I won't bet. With the flexibility of WB II protocol new changes and backward compatibility is guaranteed, which make it great. Maybe it would be a good idea to make a GUI that does only one task to focus on that and make it better that winboard on that particular task (WB does everything, analysis, ICS, engine-engine etc.). It might grow later. Regards, Miguel > >/David
