The bigest disadvantage of Winbord or WB-Protokol is the complete absent of any "userfriendliness". In that case it is not the problem of the protokoll it is the GUI. Every engine uses its one *.ini, *.rc or wathever file. Every new user has to deal with it. No "view" to the full actual PV or an older one... You said that thinks could be done in 5 min with VB (or VC), but nobody did it till now. I think that WB-Protokol os great for programers. The programers have a e-mail list where they discuss the possibility of futere WB-protocol Version, has anyone of the programmers ever askes for an improvment of usability of the interface? With all respect about what Tim does in his spare time (and i enjoy WB!), have you ever tried to go to a chess club and explain to the "average" player with a computer how to use Crafty, Yace, Quark ... ! Has anyone ever asked why someone starts to program it's own GUI for WB (eg Arena)? Has anyone ever asked why someone starts to program it's own GUI for WB? If WB programers want to approach the "masses" with their engines, they should'nt discus the protokoll they should discuss the GUI. Regards Ingo
