And I think there are many engines/programs with an own Gui. It's really not such a big deal to make a textversion of your chess- program then, you just leave away your gui.. :) And use standart input/output for communication, and adjust a few commands. (in the case of the winboard- protocol.) Also for playing games (as at CCT) with the winboardprotocol, you don't really need to support many commands. I suspect you'll have a winboard-compatible version ready in an hour/few hours work, and you've time till February. So no need to feel discriminated. Actually this morning I added kibitzing to Neurosis, because of reading this CCC threat, and will sign up to CCT7 in the weekend. (I don't know what computer I will be able to have connected to the internet that long yet.) I've started with a total rewrite of Neurosis, 2.0, but that won't be upto strength before February I think, so I will play with version "1.82". Greetings Stan
