But Dave I don't think anybody objected to the use of another GUI...

Naturally it would be better if CM9000 was able to autoplay with the other GUIs,
but the SSDF has found a solution for this.

I understand the SSDF has to make compromises, and I would say that this
compromise (to run the CM9000 engine inside the CB GUI) is not unreasonable.

The ChessBase GUI by itself does not change the rating of a chess engine.
However it does if:
* you use a ChessBase book instead of the engine's book.
* you use the ChessBase book learning instead of the engine's.

That's why we are complaining about these two points.
