He may have expressed it not that clever, but you may take a look on what Bob has written about that topic. IMO Bob is fully right, sharing active GUI's and there book tools is not something we should support. But well, as long the ICGA does not care about that, there is not much we can do against it. The strangest thing to me was once Vincent in Paderborn. First he did play the opening moves with the ChessBase GUI and then switches to his own GUI and play with that the rest of the game. This was in Paderborn 2005 - and as this tourney has a special atmosphere I would never complain -> but for sure I wouldn't have accepted this in WCCC. And that when I know that especially Vincent is one of those which want to see the engine playing all moves and not some sort of GUI. (By the way, when I read what Bob wrote this seems to be one point where Bob and Vincent fully agree - remarkable... :) Greets, Thomas
