My solution is to not care. A possible >compromise solution may be to release with WB2 support only. not supporting UCI is a big mistake. In case you support WB2 only, people will take another adaptor (WB2UCI) to let it play under CB-GUI. And that, Anthony, is not a good solution for your program, because if there are problems under CB-GUI they occure with WB-Engines using the mentioned adaptor. > >>If so: Who shall buy it then? > >Realistically speaking the number of people that would use the engine in fritz >is very small. i don't think this to be true. and it is not only Fritz-gui. many people use Arena (free and really good) or Shredder-classic by SMK. so we have enough good GUIs and there is no real need to have another one. >Also, the new gui really is rather nice. without UCI-support it is useless for me and for many other users as you can see in this thread > >anthony Wolfgang
