Hi Uri,

there are some more engine users than engine programmers. Most of those,
who would have such a GUI, then would like to make so called FRC tournaments
between mostly classical engines and rarely FRC engines. This would be
absolutely contraproductive to FRC.

It might be usefull to a handfull of programmers working on the FRC
awareness of their engines. When they do not declare a need for such
a cheating GUI, we should forget this proposal very quickly.

Regards, Reinhard
