Winboard is a great invention, eternal glory for Tim Mann.

It's no joke still I have a little disappointment for you (I think), that is I
am only going to support Interfaces that correctly have implemented the Winboard
protocol. Sending the "new game command + the move list" every new move is a
playing strength killer for each Winboard engine and I don't want my engine to
play under these Interfaces until it is fixed.

That is okay Frank, from the beginning I knew your heart was in the right place.
Merry Christmas to you too!
