Hi Kurt,

Personally I think every chessprogram/engine should have an own Gui in the
basis.      Writing a Gui is interesting and never a waste of time.   Also as
a user you can never have too many complete chessprograms to play around
with. Everyone now doing all these engine-engine tests, makes people forget
about true/other types of strength of chessprograms. Meaning if your program
is below 2500 in comp-comp strength, it's useless and no one will even take a
look at it, even if it has other qualities.

Greetings
Stan
