Subject: Is it time for the Winboard Protocol to go the way of the Dodo?

Author: Anthony Cozzie

Date: 09:13:26 03/09/05

After the post on how Daniel Mehrmann is still working on XBoard/Winboard, I
immediately starting thinking of ways to waste his time.  My question is: Does
Winboard really have any advantages over UCI any more?

The Anthony WB/UCI comparison:

+UCI:

Interface is cleaner & easier to implement, not being based on the crappy GNU
chess protocol.

Supports Multiple PVs, refutations, etc.

Graphical configuration of engines.

+WinBoard:

Can operate in text mode.

And this comparison is (obviously) quite favorable to UCI, although I may have
missed things.  Anyway, I'd be willing to help Daniel out over the next few
weeks if it meant a new version of Xboard with UCI support, and I'm guessing
there would be a few other people willing to help out as well.
