To answer your questions:

Other Winboard engines cannot be imported into the program.
Kittinger's engine is a new version specifically for the program.

There is no post-game analysis, but there is move advice in English, similar to
Chessmaster's.

The program does not have Descriptive notation. It only has Algebraic and
Coordinate.

Many thanks for the kind words, and if you have any other questions or problems
with the program, please don't hesitate to write me.
