John,

OK - point taken.  For CM there is (commercial) value in having a good dumbed
down mode.  I really doubt this is the case for any engine that are not sold in
retail - but I could be wrong.

However, back to my main point - IMHO 99.999% of Winboard / UCI engines are not
that concerned about making a weak engine (I'm certainly not) - so hopefully we
can get some dialogue going and share some ideas.

Regards,

Steve
