Uri, why dont you fix all GUIs and chess programs, so that they can
play any of the 'Zillions game' collection and we have some hundreds
of universal playing progs more?
I will send you $ 10 in advance for your great work, if all other
members here do the same, may be we can expect some progress in a
few months?
(Oops I forgot,#1 on my wish list is a Go version of Crafty...TIA)
