I do not know I do not have my own gui and I use winboard for my engine and I am not interested in doing this but in improving my engine. I think that in theory it can be simple but the question is if it is possible practically to earn much from it. I do not guess that closed open position is a good division of positions that can help because it is not the case when in 80% of the cases one program is better in open position when the second is better in closed position. It is possible to say that one program is better in some type of endgames but the gain that you can get from it is probably clearly smaller than 100 elo and you need to know the programs for this. I suggest first to try to use it for free engines that come with source code. Crafty and Pepito come with source code. Can somebody generate a significant stronger engine then them based on the source code of them? Uri
