>I need to find out these things.

Unfortunately LG's readme files are not very well done.

>1.How to run it on winboard

The same way as any winboard engine works.
1. Extract all files in a directory, e.g goliath.
2. If you like, rename the .exe file to whatever you want, e.g. LG2000V25.
3. Add the engine to your "winboard.ini" file. My ini looks like this:

[...some lines deleted]
/firstChessProgramNames="GNUChess
[...some lines deleted]
\"LG2000V25\" /fd=d:\\Winboard\\goliath
[...some lines deleted]
"

[...some lines deleted]
/secondChessProgramNames="GNUChess
[...some lines deleted]
\"LG2000V25\" /sd=d:\\Winboard\\goliath
[...some lines deleted]
"
>2.Its strongest settings

The settings can be changed in the included file "goliath.ini". The initial
settings coming with the zip-file seems to be not to bad. Possibly you would
like to adjust the hash table size.

>3.How to adjust or update its opening book

Download the newest books from CSS, Djordje Vidanovic or Michael Borgstaedt.
Don't change "book=on" and "learning=on" in goliath.ini.

4.How I can work the commands

???

>Note that I never had a clue on how to work The Crazy Bishop.  it's too complex.

winboard.ini: \"TCB0045 TCBxInit.cui\" /fd=d:\\Winboard\\TCB

TCBxInit.cui:

You probably have to adjust the names of the directories to your system.

Please visit Frank Quisinsky's website. You will find a file "config.zip" with
examples for _all_ engines.
