The big reason why no different standard has emerged so far is the compatibility with old (mostly DOS based) chess programs, namely - Chess Genius 2,3,4,5 - M-Chess PRO 4,5,6,7 - Hiarcs 3,4,5,6 - REBEL 6,7,8,9 - Fritz 3,(5) - Junior 5(Fritz.32 engine) - Nimzo 3,3.5,98 - Shredder 1,2 - Kallisto - CSTal - Crafty (DOS, up to release 14, hopefully soon in 15.x) - Comet etc. Moritz
