Are they >not valid reasons for wanting a UCI version? Perhaps. It depends if there turns out to be a big need to run Zappa under such a GUI. To quote myself: "I know 95% of you is really using Fritz so you can test against CB engines." There is a small amount of users who would want UCI support to run the engine *outside* Fritz. Sandro Necchi is probably one of them, too. But you are a *really tiny* minority. -- GCP
