Quantity isn't everything, there is also quality to think about. What can an average user do with 160 chess engines? I don't think the number of engines itself is very important at all. The ChessBase GUI is very good and offers a lot of useful options - the same is true about the ChessPartner interface, to name two examples . Both also support UCI engines directly and CP also allows to use WinBoard engines without problems. I am interested in the development of amateur engines and spend much time with them. But from reading your posts I came to the conclusion you started some kind of crusade here. Another aspect: it is nice to get strong engines for free but for me it is also OK to pay some money for a high quality product. I have no problem to respect your different opinion - it would be nice if you respected different opinions, too. Peter
