Go up one level in this thread

Why don't they release a Winboard engine?

Because they would have *absolutely nothing* to gain. It would take significant
programming effort on their part, and would not generate any additional sales.
The makers of Chess Master care very little for the 100-5000 hard-core
enthusiasts who even know that there even *are* winboard engines. We would buy
CM8K (or whatever) regardless of the winboard interface. And the 99.99% of the
other Chess Master purchasers couldn't care less about it.

Therefore, it wouldn't be a particularly good move on their part to spend money
for something from whcih they would generate no return.
