From http://www.aarontay.per.sg/Winboard/Winboard5.html#[E.1]

For WB adapter:
"This is probably only of historical interest as time passes. Older Chessbase
interfaces like Fritz 5.32,6 , Junior 6,7 etc implemented a crippled form of
support for Winboard engines using a winboard chessbase adaptor and did not
support UCI. It was well known to cause Winboard engines to play extremely weak
when this method was used. "

Instead using Wb2Uci i didn't noticed any problems at all, except in some time
management problems of Movei 0.07.99 and Phalanx XXII and some strange moves by
Movei.
But all the other engines i tried work perfectly in Fritz7/Shredder6/Hiarcs8/
S7/F8/CT15/J7/DJ8/Nimzo8 GUIs.
