One note: Yace and Ruffian and Little Goliath Nemesis are UCI engines and
would work perfectly on Fritz7/8/Shredder6/7/Hiarcs8/9/Junior7/8/ChessTiger15.0
GUI's. But also other non-UCI engines but Winboard engines will work almost
perfectly (97% of the Winboard engines(non-UCI) i tried work perfect, 3% with
some problems) in these GUI's with the Wb2Uci tool.
