Excusez le mot, but I THE CUSTOMER am getting sick and tired of all these chess
programs and chess boards that can not communicate with each other.

Now, for those of you who don't know yet, US CUSTOMERS, are quite crazy people,
because once we are into chess computing we tend to buy LOADS of your suff. Why?
 Don't ask, just enjoy it! BUT we also like to have all our stuff working nicely
together, so that we do not have to translate our ChessBase files to Rebel
format, and losing all our analyses in the process. And wouldn't it be nice if
we could use our multiple chess engines in one program or hook up our beautifull
WHATEVER BRAND chess board to WHATEVER BRAND program.

How long will it take for you to see that instead of competing each other to
death, you also have a COMMON interest, namely to grow the computers chess
market.

How to do that? STANDARDIZATION. This is what made video, CD, Microsoft, Intel,
and you name it BIG.

It's not that hard to please us. Just give it a shot!
