Sorry, I neither have the time at the moment, nor do I understand winboard sources enough. It might not be totally trivial to add it. Chesspartner does some kibitzing - but it will not do a nice job because it will not kib for each move, and for some moves it will kib more than once. Also you often will see some kibitzed PV for a wrong ponder move, which is rather confusing for the observer (who cannot know it in general). Seems Fabien is implementing some kibitz support in Polyglot. Then you may have the situation, that adding 2 filters - wb2uci and polyglot - will give you kibitzing. Now we have the situation, that any author has to write basically exactly the same code (unless he has Chesspartner or Chessassistent?). And if he wants to do it nice and userfriendly probably lots of runtime options, like please in general kib vs. (C), whisper vs. human, but please not this game, etc. Would all be more appropriate for the interface.
