It looks like it use a lot of time to start up. When using protocol 2 there is a
trick to send feature done=0 before it gets anything from the gui/adapter that
could be used in the engine, you don't need to wait for protover command.

Apart from this there are two parameters you can adjust in your Wb2Uci.eng file
when done=0/1 isn't in use (or correct used).

Starttime = 15
InitTime = 10

Set starttime to be longer (in second) that the engine need to start.
Set inittime so it is long enough to initilize tablebase, books etc.

I played right now 10 bullet games (1 min.) in Shredder Classic without any
problem. I didn't do the above adjustement neither but Shredder fire up the
engine when you set up the match so I guess this took me enough time to get
SharpChess started.
