What´s about other proprietary protocols like Fritz (ChessBase) or Chess Genius Classic (Millenium Chess System) playing on Lichess? cf. rheir websites on http://computer-chess.org/doku.php?id=computer_chess:wiki:lists:gui_protocol_support_list

I don't think this will happen because lichess-bot is based on python-chess an python-chess doesn't support these proprietary protocols at all.

Either that, or if you could make an adapter to force those engines to communicate via CECP or UCI I suppose you could use them.

Closing since it won't be supported
