Probably within a few weeks after release i outsell shredder classic sales (with either diep3d or zappa, whatever releases first). So being 'compatible' with fritz didn't bring much cash in the pocket for shredder, if a new product like diep3d, within a few weeks can sell more copies. The conclusion is obvious that the average person who has no idea about protocols, they just care for results. If Fritz can each new version have new 'bugs' in the GUI that just lose you points, then the customer dislikes buying your product "because it sucks". If then a few nerds who reacted here that you should simply do and eat what chessbase is doing, then GCP has all right to call them Hypocrites. It is time for you and Stefan to draw conclusions with respect to being compatible and running under Fritz IMHO, instead of criticizing a decision, that in diep3d we can load uci engines, without trying to cripple engines from other programmers. You can keep of course your eyes closed forever, but to quote GCP in a conversation i once had: 1 producent == interface monopolie == engine programmeurs de kneus translation: (1 company == interface monopoly == engine programmers get dicked) Actively supporting that monopoly i definitely underline the opinion from GCP.
