Ok, you certainly know better than me. My favorite sparring partner is Crafty.
There are rather many versions. So for me it looks like there are rather many
opponents that use scoring from white. And you might have guessed it: I think it
is wrong (but still according to the WB protocol). When users want to see scores
from white side of view, the GUI should handle it. All engines should show the
score consistently - which historically was POV of the engine.

Cheers,
