I cannot find out for myself before you release a Linux or Mac OS X version (hint, hint). :-) >>Most of the work has been on the endgame, Same thing here. >>but that's no good if the games are always decided before that :) Of course. It seems to me that a very high percentage of comp-comp games are decided in the endgame, though. >Currently I am testing both programs at normal chess.

Certainly stronger than WB1, because Gothmog doesn't even support protocol version 1. However, there is no difference at all between Gothmog as a UCI engine or Gothmog as a WB2 engine. It might be more comfortable to operate in UCI mode, but it will play exactly the same moves. Of course, the FRC version will only work in UCI mode, because there isn't yet any FRC support in the xboard protocol. Tord
