I _do not know_ if this is a problem of Movei or a problem related with the
buggy winboard adapter from Chessbase:

If I set up a position Movei refuse to start. Furthermore Analyze mode does not
work. Movei only shows the first move of pv when it hasto play against another
engine. I will try to run movei in Fritz now with Malins WB2UCI adapter.
