I do not see it.
ShredderUCI also allows winboard programs and UCI programs to run under it
and it has not the problem of losing on time after 256 moves because the
interface send wrong information to the engines.

I think ShredderUCI is one program that is more compatible

As far as I know Zappa2.0 will not be able to run under Fritz GUI but Fritz also
cannot run under zappa GUI.

I am curious if Fritz is going to add a WB protocol support because that would
mean it will inavoidably be matched against Zappa engines in Zappa GUI.

I am afraid that in that case it won't win a single(long) match against
Zappa2.0.
