Anyone >know if they will be released in some form or other (Like Patzer, Capture and >Lampchop...) You are mistaken , that was actually released. Winboard Edition I - Gandalf sold as winboard engine Winboard Edition II - Lampchop, Patzer, Capture released as UCI and Winboard engine. Gandalf released only as UCI engine WInboard Edition III - I understand it was mostly UCI engines like Pharaon,anmon , Nejemet etc.. Hope this helps.. Aaron
