Hi Thomas,
the 6-8 professionals maybe in 2-3 years. I believe in the future are only
commercial GUIs intersting, to many strong free programs available. If you have
in 3 years machines with 2-3 GHz, it is not very important to have a Fritz or
Tiger if 200 programs free available.
This is good for user, must give not to many money for chess software and more
people find interest to play with chess programs. This is good for publicity for
computer chess. Commercial firms can spent more time for good GUI options with
WinBoard, other concepts are not very interesting in the future. WinBoard is
Standard !!
Yes, we have also a great next year for computer chess. Many not available
programs and also programmers which can programming a second WinBoard GUI, for
user which love more grafic :-))
We will see ... SCID is a very good free database and we have other very good
free database programs.
My wish programs for the future are:
01. WB Chess Wizard, France
02. WB BBChess, France
03. Jester as WinBoard engine, France
04. WB LambChop for free, France (plays fantastic computer chess, one of my
favorits).
05. WB Hossa, like Steffen comments in chess fora, Steffen must have a super
strong program, but Steffen will say ... no Frank my program is not super
strong :-))
06. All italian programs must I have for free ...
The Italian programmers made a fantastic work, Luigi made in the past
s super good work for WinBoard.
07. Also all the strong Spain programs !!
Betsabe, RuyLopez, Eugen
Chess Guru is also a super strong program, I replay games, very interesting.
But a Linux engine.
IsiChess and Neurologic are also very good German programs.
And all this for WinBoard and for free and we all can better sleeping.
We will see ...
I wish me a WB engine from Socrates, Stobor (new and strong American power).
Or DarkThough or German Nightmare, German XxxxII, German Schach 3.0 and and and
...
Best
Frank
WB Kallisto and WB Virtual Chess is also interesting :-)
