Yeah but the part about how to enter the command lines in the winboard.ini was
not enough (for me atleast) to get it up and running.

quote:

"Usage
-----

PolyGlot acts as an xboard engine.  There should be no difference with
a normal chess program as far as the interface (e.g. WinBoard) is
concerned.

PolyGlot is invoked using "polyglot <INI file>".  Note that PolyGlot
will look for the INI file in the current directory.  If no <INI file>
is given, "polyglot.ini" is selected.

To use PolyGlot with XBoard, you would type something like this:
> xboard -fd 'polyglot_dir' -fcp 'polyglot engine.ini'

Quotes are important when there is a space in the argument."

Now i am not familiar with how this works... so a working example would be nice.
