A menu pops up: click on "Play against a Chess engine". It will give you a list of engines which will include "GNUChess". Select it and a game will start right away with you playing white against that computer program. To add your own program (such as Crafty): put your chess program in the same directory as "winboard.exe". Then edit "winboard.ini": do a "search" for the GNU program that was on the menu when you ran winboard, then: in place of the GNU program name (in the file "winboard.ini), enter "wcrafty.exe" (or what ever you programs name is). Then your program will be on the selection menu when you run "winboard.exe".
