Glad to hear that you like it, Dany! :)

Yesterday I've made a 2nd update: for 2 Fidelity modules (Excellence EP12 and Par Excellence) the function 'Save & Load State' didn't work,
so they needed another fix.
The SuperConstellation now behaves like all other engines, if you click on a piece it is now marked instead of just disappearing.
And I've improved a few artworks.

Nice work Franz. :)

Can these engines be used as uci engines inside an external GUI?

Hi Graham!

No, only for a few Mephisto engines someone made an UCI version of MESS a few years ago.
But IMO it's almost a rape to use these old chess computer ROMs in an UCI-GUI. ;)

I don't see the Elite Avantgarde V11 (feagv11 or feagv11rs) in the roms directory. Am I missing something?

No, you're not missing anything - the V11 is just a tuned (overclocked) V10, so it uses the same ROM as the V10.
