Hello John Merlino,

A few questions;

1) Will CM9k allow winboard engines to use the CM GUI, similiar to the way Fritz
allows WB engines with UCI to plug in.  If not, why ?  In addition, do you feel
UCI should become the new standard for all engines ?

2) How many players do you currently have playing on a normal time at
ChessMaster Live.  As I recall, a few years ago nobody showed up!  At what point
will the company be charging a fee to use ChessMaster Live ?

3) I read your response to Harald Faber that you will not allow AutoPlayer 232,
may I enquire as to the reasons that CM does not want us to use this ?  For one
thing it would allow for a rating at the SSDF, instead of having to be played
manually.

4) I notice CM has allot of 3D boards and pieces, yet most serious chessplayers
use 2D boards.  Why does CM not increase the number of 2D pieces available ?
Here are some fonts that show the many 2D pieces that are available:

Thank you in advance for your response.
