For me is absoluty clear that we have: 1) A perfect working Winboard GUI 2) An for me perfect engine protocol I hope also that in Arena works WB engins perfectly. Martin Blume (Arena programmer) try 1:1 Winboard native and also in the future support for ICS. I believe it's OK if we have more of these great freeware software and hope that Tim work a long time on WinBoard (101% important). Best Frank PS: WinBoard is my favorite GUI now many years!
