You misread. With Chessbase programs I get a strong engine, but I am stuck in one interface. That is exactly what I said. Atleast with that interface I can use the proper book supplied for it, and I can do many other things. What good is an UCI engine outside it's normal interface if it can not use the supplied book? Nothing.. that was my point. Peter
