Hello Uri,

At least you said by your definition which falls flat in the face of objective
fact.

The King is a Winboard engine.

It can be used in Winboard - witness Leo's WBEC etc.

It cannot be used without a code supplied by the CM gui (do not laugh here!) but
it is a Winbaord engine.  Nothing you or I say changes that.

There is at least one Winboard engine which is improved by running it through
Polyglot to my certain knowledge.  However, I accept this part...

Which engine would this be Uri?
