Subject: Re: rebel on fritz interface---How about just a Winboard version.

Go up one level in this thread


I would rather see a winboard version. That way Rebel could be played in
Winboard, a NICE windows interface, and it could be played inside any Winboard
compatible interface, such as Fritz, the Millenium System, Chessvision, and all
others (whatever they are). I wouldn't want to be limited to just Fritz, unless
perhaps Rebel took a substantial performance hit any other way.

Moreover creating a Winboard Rebel opens up the market for Ed, because it gives
people a degree of freedom of choice in the interface they want, and it plugs
Rebel directly into established markets.

Certainly this a more sound marketing decision than Chess Partner, an awlful
interface.
