Hi Werner,

Use the "/debug" option in winboard to see the commands it sends to resume
a game.  I think it is something like

"new"         - to start a new game
"force"       - to put your program in neutral where it accepts moves
                but doesn't play
"e2e4"        - the list of moves to get the the current position
"d7d5"
"g1f3"
....

"white", "black", or "go"    - something to take your program out of force
                               mode, but I don't remember what exactly.
