First, the Shredder-Winboard-Adapter sends the timing in different way then it
should be sent according to winboard protocol spec.
Second, the Adapter sends also every next move a new
Third, for the engine its impossible to see that it runs under Shredder, so it
can't adjust to Shredders needs...

Pondering is solved little better with the Shredder-Winboard-Adapter, but also
far away from perfect. But for Shredder we have UCI, so if someone wants to
adjust fully, he can implement UCI-support...  But the Shredder-Winboard-Adapter
is the second worst in the world... (and since SMK is now partner of ChessBase
the two worse adapters came from the same origin... :)

Greets, Thomas
