UCI2WB, was originally a Windows protocol adapter by Roland Pfister to run 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 As no longer maintained closed source, some flaws and limitations emerged after a few years, and UCI2WB was replaced in 2004 by Fabien Letouzey's PolyGlot. =USI2WB / UCI2WB= In about 2009, Harm Geert Muller started to develop an USI2WB adapter to support Shogi engines using the USI protocol. USI2WB was then generalized to became a new UCI2WB cross 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. UCI2WB is open source, licensed under the GPL Version 3. As of 2018, WinBoard no longer contains PolyGlot and relies on the variant agnostic UCI2WB.
