'''UCI2WB''',<br/>
was originally a [[Windows]] [[Protocols|protocol]] adapter by [[Roland Pfister]] to run [[:Category:UCI|UCI Engines]] under [[WinBoard]]. As no longer maintained closed source, some flaws and limitations emerged after a few years, and UCI2WB was replaced in 2004 by [[Fabien Letouzey|Fabien Letouzey's]] [[PolyGlot]] <ref>[http://www.open-aurec.com/wbforum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=47003 UCI2WB "replacement" project news] by [[Fabien Letouzey]], [[Computer Chess Forums|Winboard Forum]], March 23, 2004</ref>.

In about 2009, [[Harm Geert Muller]] started to develop an '''USI2WB''' adapter to support [[Shogi]] engines using the USI protocol <ref>[http://hgm.nubati.net/usi.html The Universal Shogi Interface (USI)]</ref>. USI2WB was then generalized to became a new UCI2WB cross [[Games#ChessVariants|variant]] protocol adapter for [[UCI]] dialect engines (UCI, USI, UCCI, UCI-Cyclone, Arena960) to play with [[WinBoard]] or [[XBoard]], first released with WinBoard 4.4 <ref>[http://www.open-aurec.com/wbforum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=50387 WinBoard 4.4 downloads] by [[Harm Geert Muller]], [[Computer Chess Forums|Winboard Forum]], September 05, 2009</ref>. UCI2WB is open source, licensed under the [[Free Software Foundation#GPL|GPL Version 3]].
