But do you sell Diep as a UCI engine, which for example could run under Fritz interface? if it does i would like to place an order :) i don't need another GUI where i would have to use a null modem cable to play the GUI engine against CB engines. >It has very limited functionality and has major bugs.

If Diep does not run as a UCI/WB engine under other GUI's, then would you consider that as a possibility in the future? Regards Jonas
