So you must run it through the wb2uci adapter which is unsatisfactory for most winboard engines. The adapter sends a "new" command with every move, "new" in winboard usually means "new game" - thus the engine is severely handicapped if it treats the "new" command to mean "new game". Compound that with the copy proection scheme, your expeience will be most unsatisfactory in the Chessbase GUI or with any Winbaord GUI as well. I got it to run, but I could never get it off the instantaneous search and move. Thus, it played very weak.
