There should be an new version of Bringer soon enough, you can expect to see rather
regular updates on that program for a while. GNUchess 4.14, that project I hear is not
really going anywhere, but you can find a link to version 4.15 on Tim Mann's Winboard
page, I can't tell the difference between them. Most of the better programs than Der
Bringer need to interface through Winboard, so when you feel like tackleing that there's
very strong programs like Crafty, Comet, Phalanx...  if I tried to list everyone I would
insult someone by leaving their program out, but I like to concider those three the most
powerfull download programs.
