For others here is my answer ** I haven't seen Arena but it is suposed to have Winboard support. If this support is normal like Winboard, Chessmaster, CA etc. I see no cause to try to use it as uci-engine. There is no gain in it. If it's support isn't in the spirit of Winboard I would think it was better to try to point out this since the program is in test stage. The wb2uci-adapter isn't any miracle, it only try to send to winboard engine what it is expected to get and not as the earlier wb-adapters from CB that try to control the engine. ** I will add that I most probably will add some feature so you could manipulate the engine from inside Fritz/Shredder/Arena etc. because my own engine is full of settable varables. Then it probably would be some interest to use it where the WB-support is good too but only for human play against the engine. Odd Gunnar
