Note that - in contrast to winboard - each engine has its own interface to the
Fritz-GUI. Engine author and GUI author had made an agreement and defined the
interface. As far as I know, the GUI author himself (Mathias Feist ?) has also
made the engine interface. No surprise, it works well.
But there may very well be misunderstandings in the specification, which Chrilly
and CB had agreed to.
