Nobody says that the GUI "must" do one thing or another. It is the seperation of
tasks. For example, you can let the interface play the opening moves, and do the
draw claim; let it only do the draw claim; do nothing; etc. There is no strict
border between the engine and the interface (read the WinBoard and UCI
protocols). I don't see how you can make the seperation...
