Thanks! You are right, I meant the wild variant where you can load a position at
the start of the game with the "loadgame" command.
If Crafty can handle this ...then it looks like a Winboard/Zippy problem.
Anyone know what I have to tell Zippy or Winboard to play wild20 games with
Crafty (or any engine)?
