With the advent and wider distribution of the standardized [[Protocols|computer chess protocols]] such as the [[Chess Engine Communication Protocol]] and the [[UCI|Universal Chess Interface]], supported by [[GUI|graphical user interfaces]] as well as chess programs, Auto232 became more and more obsolete.

Chrilly, at the same time somehow related with hosting of the upcoming Graz [[WCCC 2003]] event, emotionally overacted and sent hatred e-mails to American computer chess programmers, which led to a boycott of the WCCC by those programmers and others, most notably by [[Bruce Moreland]] <ref>[https://www.stmintz.com/ccc/index.php?id=291320 Why I am not going to the Graz WCCC] by [[Bruce Moreland]], [[CCC]], April 01, 2003</ref> .
