In Fritz, many standard procedures are handled by the GUI (book access, when to ponder, etc.), while with WinBoard the engines control those things themselves . CB Programmer M.Wüllenweber has explained that recently in an article (unfortunately I don't have the URL and forgot if it was english or german). It became clear from his explanation why this is so, and that it makes perfect sense for a professional GUI (all the engine programmers don't have to care for the same functions themselves). This obviously must have resulted in big adaptation problems - although it runs quite fine for many WB engines. But the CB WinBoard adapter is discontinued by ChessBase; often people connect WB engines via the UCI engine installation, using the Wb2UCI adapter of Odd Gunnar Malin. I've recently tried that with Bringer 1.9 in Fritz 7; it works very good. If you use the CB WinBoard adapter, make sure to use the version of Nov. 23rd, 2000 (22.528 byte), not the one of May 2001 of which more problems were reported. Regards, M.Scheidl
