Hi Harald,

not negative, only a fact!

If I can not used an engine in the GUI where I have interest is this not a
standard for me. If I must used a GUI where I have not the biggest interest is
this also not a standard for me.

If we have 160 WB/UCI compatible engines and maybe 10 engines which are not
compatible to WB/UCI we have a specially sausage (in German: Extrawurst). This
is not negative this is in fact a _specialy sausage_.

We all must try that users of all GUIs must used every engine in every free or
commercial GUI. The big group of Winboarders cann't play with Tiger and Tiger is
a commercial engine. In my opinion the false way to say to all groups of GUIs
fans ... you can only used for Tiger engine GUI x or y. So the firm which for
sell a chess software give every group of users an "must used" of the way.

On the other hand we have enough free and commercial WB/UCI engines and in this
cases is the engine ChessTiger only one of 200 and no interesting for all groups
of computer chess fans.

The best computer chess engine is an engine "All in one" :-)
WB/UCI Support and all users of the world have fun.

Best
Frank
