A related story: Originally Sjeng was developed and tested solely on Linux. On each release, I would get dozens of requests for a Windows build. After a while, I started doing Windows builds for each release. A little while later, I put out a new version with only a Windows binary because I happened to have done the last testing on Windows. I never got a single complaint or request for a Linux version. I haven't released any Linux versions since, even though I still develop on Linux. And you're the first person to vaguely 'complain' about it after all those time. I concluded making Linux versions just isn't worth the hassle. >With Tiger availlable for Linux this would change very much :). > >And then when Tiger also worked in SCID and supported XBoard ... Yes. I wish more commercials supported either UCI or WinBoard protocol. Currently, only Gandalf does. If I buy Tiger from Rebel, I can't use it under ChessBase (or WinBoard). If I buy it from ChessBase, I can't use it under Rebel (or WinBoard). This is annoying, because I paid for the engine but I am severely limited in my use of it. Christophe, would you consider making the next Tiger UCI or WinBoard compatible? -- GCP
