I ear you Fernando, and I feel the same. Smile Actually I even started to work on a new interface for OS X, having the nice look and feel of Mac programs, so I've put quite some thinking into what I want in a GUI.

What do you think of current interfaces? As for me:

- Fritz: it lacks a soul. But it's very efficient.
- Aquarium: too much and bling bling, BUT innovative in many ways
- Arena: my favorite one. Fills all my needs and I feel at home with it.
- Winboard: efficient... But designed by and for unix techies: would need a serious artwork redesign.
- ChessGUI: fast and efficient.
- SCID vs PC/Mac: I'm starting to like it and it's my main interface on Mac now.
- Shredder: costly and simple but fast and efficient.

(Am I forgetting some?)


A portable and comfortable way for the engine to communicate with the user. I promised Fern to implement in Gaviota a way to trash talk and taunt the users, but the few times I looked no GUI has a good implementation of doing this. If I miss something, I would like to know. The xboard protocol offer the chance, but the implementation of telluser with pop ups is not good at all. We need a chat window, in which the engine continuously talk to the player, possibly redirecting the string comments in UCI and the telluser talk.

I wish for a way to punch Gaviota in the smiley face without causing damage to my computer screen Laughing
