From the Winboard help:

/firstComputerString string
/secondComputerString string

If the chess engine is playing against another computer program (whether locally
or on a chess server), by default the command "computer\n" is sent to it. Some
chess engines change their playing style when they receive this command. If you
do not want the engine to know when it is playing another computer, you can set
the string to "".

I have to admit, although I have suggested this new feature, I have not tried it
out yet.

Dieter
