I'm not sure. If you can play comp vs human and vice versa in Winboard normally
I think it should be able to do comp-comp too. Did you start Winboard with the
right parameters? -fcp and -scp for FirstChessProgram and SecondChessProgam?
(it's a while ago, but doesn't Winboard require this format for a move:
"1. e2e4" ? That's not what it looks like in the posted code)
