There are two/three reasons.

0.) The Rémi Coloum autoplayer was supposed to be too difficult to setup for
many users and there were also some problems in testgames.
1.) So Dieter Bürßner had to implement booklearning for the UCI version of Yace.
2.) Safety reasons - while Yace ran perfectly well under Shredder right from the
start an earlier version of the Fritz GUI could make it lose on time because of
a Fritz bug - this was not easy to work around.
3.) It took some time until Dieter could let Yace use its own bitbases under
Fritz, too.

I never tested Yace with the ChessPartner GUI and its autoplayer as it is buggy
in supporting the extended autoplayer protocol with Tiger - in fact it simply
doesn't work.

Peter
