Sorry GC, but to me that is pure nonsense, Zappa is about to be released,
Chessbase has been around for a long time and is not about to just change their
protocol. It is therefore only normal to express your preference as Zappa is
about to be released so they can take costumer needs into consideration.

It will be hard enough as it is to sell a new UCI engine, but if it comes with
it's own gui and own engine protocol, then i suspect it is going to be very few
people who buys it.

Please answer this; what is wrong with adding more than one protocol? (wb2,uci
tc).

>If that is out of line perhaps you can suggest a better word.

Perhaps not a word, but a wording "Dear potential buyers of Zappa, i disagree"
:) (just joking).
