Mainly because there wasn't demand for that probably. Before Fritz 7 and now Arena, very few users had UCI capable interfaces, except the Chess assistant 6 people and the few owners of Shredder 5. Hardly worth the borther IMHO. No idea how difficult it is, but i suppose it would depend on the indidvual program.. I predict a lot more to come..But I doubt all or even 50% of winboard engines will start to support UCI.. >Yace and Pharaon seems to do it quite well. Pharaon was actually meant to be sold by Gambitsoft, together with other UCI engines (anmon, etc) , but the project did not take off.. In fact, most of the UCI versions you see floating around now, are mostly associated with this project.. Without this (failed) project by gambitsoft, you would probably see even fewer UCI engines now .. As for Yace and Pepito, all i can say is Dieter Bursserner seems to be a very gifted programmer that programs at the speed of light. Aaron
