Not exactly the WB-protocol but a > piece-of-cake to adjust to. you are right - I think it was me who discover that for the public... -> in CM 9000 you can disable that as far as I know... (I must ad that I think that this "." is a good thing during gameplay, but it's not in the specification) The only winboard adapter that is nearly as bad as the chessbase adapter is the one from the Shredder "classic" GUI... oh well, and which is the company which sells this GUI ? Right, ChessBase... :))) But it's a senseless discussion, I have some hope that at least the UCI adapter might work correctly in Fritz 11 or 12... that's not to bad... There is some hope... :) Greets, Thomas
