With both Wb2UCI (thanks Odd Gunnar) and Polyglot (thanks Fabien) we have them merged. Today. Just a little rough on the edges... An example: combining TheKing chessmaster engine with WB2uci and PG you can adjust any parameter and have it play under WB with your own book choice. This is impossible in any other modern GUI or configuration without horribly painful manoeuvers. If we could get WB2UCI + Polyglot working in a little more user-friendly interface, than we would have the perfect intermediate solution between any engine and any GUI. ... at the exception of the deliberately schizophrenic chessbase engines, but this is another story, and we can begin to hope that their hegemonic story is beginning to go to its lonely end.
