Not exactly. The King knows nothing about CM's opening books. All of that is
handled in a different section of code within the main program and the book
moves are passed to the engine.

Also, there is no way to change personality settings via Winboard, so the
default settings (1MB hash) would have to be used.

The only way to do it would be to write a shell program BETWEEN WinBoard and The
King. The overhead could be significant enough to produce less than adequate
results.
