So finally we see the point: FOR YOU. >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_. How many of the 160 engines are commercial? How many of the 10? >We all must try that users of all GUIs must used every engine in every free or >commercial GUI. So again you speak, pretending to speak for all (!) users. Ganz schön vermessen. >The big group of Winboarders cann't play with Tiger and Tiger is >a commercial engine. So what? Does anyone force you to buy this Tiger? No. Do you have a RIGHT to be able to use Tiger as WB/UCI? NO! It is the author's and distributor's decision. When it works no longer and sales decrease, they might change their mind and make Tiger available as CB/WB/UCI engine. It is their decision, NOT YOURS! >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. And? "Bill Gates, you MUST release Word for Linux too and for Mac so that all users in the world can decide for themselves under which OS they use Word." You are a dreamer, far away from reality and commercial markets. >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. Tiger is certainly not directed to amateur fans. ;-) >The best computer chess engine is an engine "All in one" :-) >WB/UCI Support and all users of the world have fun. This is again YOUR defintion of "best engine". Can you imagine there are other opinions? Maybe, but you don't accept them. A pity. You're a victim of your one-track-Winboard/UCI-mind. >Best >Frank
