Some of the features of Yace are better than any other program, professional or
otherwise.  Some of the things I particularly like are the excellent annotations
at the end of a search using EGTB, the auto feature to play against itself, and
this looks like a very good and valuable tool as well.

I wish that other programmers would follow your lead.

Perhaps you can publish a formal definition of your extensions and some of them
might be added to the Winboard and UCI protocols.
