Subject: Commercial program shouldn't suppport any engine protocols

Its better to release a standalone engine with its own GUI,when a programmer
gives protocol support for engines,his programming economy decreases.

It's either of 2 reasons,programmer will obtain less amount or testers do tests
reporting result and detecting bugs.

player 'd too become a tester,sometimes he gets bored always being engine's
victim.

I'd like to know if there are anyone who play chess with chessbase and who don't
test engines?

I happen to know that there are many people out there who dont know what's
computer chess or that computer program can play with another program by
protocol.that would be chessmaster buyers.

Ironically if you ask someone "do you know Deep Junior"? "Shredder"?
probable answer is "I don't know,what it it?"

If you ask some CD buyers "Do you know chessmaster"
most probably the response from them would turn out to be positive

you bet.

Do you agree with the idea of releasing chess program that should come with its
own GUI?
so.is vincent planning to exactly do this?or also Bruce?may be.


having more chess GUI's seems to be interesting,we have enough chess
engines.what do you expect to have?many chess engine,some clones can be
detected.

I don't understand why anyone would reject this idea?
