A WinBoard compatible version of the danish program Gandalf will be released
sometime in the nearby future. Presumeably after the Mindgames event. Look at
the results from Frank's CCE tournament for an estimation of the strength.
There's also Capture, Patzer and Zarkov, but I'm not sure if they're
commercially available as WinBoard engines. I'm planning to purchase Gandalf
when it's released, because it appears very strong and because it's a danish
program.

Only the Nimzo 2000 package contains a WinBoard version AFAIK.
