Hi Bertil,

I believe that, because I don't trust the Chessbase adapter approach at all. Too
many engines behave in mysterious ways when used with it in my experience.
During the betatesting period, several adjustments were made to correct errors
in communication with the adapter protocol, intrusting me with little faith
regarding the adapters reliability.

Since Gandalf works as perfectly under WinBoard as a native engine works under
CB GUI, the suboptimal adapter results in less than optimal performance for any
WinBoard engine. If someone can prove me wrong, please do, because it's nagging
me :o). When all that is said, I would like to emphasise that Gandalf works very
well under CB GUI despite of that.

That's the best I can do for explanation, Bertil. If I had programming skills I
could probably do a lot better, or prove myself wrong ;o).

Regards,
Mogens
