Hi Guenther,
I will look more in detail in December.
What you do here is really great!
Oh yes, Tristram!
With Crafty and TCBishop, SSEChess one of the first available WB engines I am using with Phalanx, Gromit, Zarkov, WBNimzo and Stober for Winboard tournaments. Later Comet, Patzer, Francesa and all the French engines like ZChess, AnMon, LaDame Blanche, Dragon, Nejmet, and the program von Sylvain Renard and so on. Zarkov have a long time the "Private" status because John are working with BookUp and the commercial software BookUp used Zarkov as main engine.
Shredder 3 is compatible to Winboard ... years later I find out.
Chrilly Donninger and Stefan used Winboard from the beginning but never we can find official information about it. Commercial interest are higher I think. So I am very happy that we have with Gandalf an engine, on the level best commercials and compatible to Winboard. Very important because first people try out Winboard because Gandalf is running here. Gave the protocol Winboard much more power!
I am working since days on a new configuration page on my site.
But only for engines I am using for testing vs. Wasp (OK, the best available engines).

Leo (WBEC) got the site from Thomas Meyer and Thomas got it from myself. Leo got later all the downloads from myself and the CC-Calendar.
I have my old winboard page on backup CDs with all the detail pages we created for each of the Winboard engines. A work I started with Volker Pittlik. On the detail page we collect important information to each of the engines.
Interesting are the Gambit-Soft project: Phase X
I created web sites and explain how winboard engines can work with commercial GUIs and Winboard itself.
2.5 million hits in the first 3 years only. Frank's Chess Page and Gambit-Soft are the biggest computer chess pages in www. The first forum from Gambit-Soft created Eva Marbach. Later Eva Marbach started with Parsimony because the Gambit-Soft forum have a lot of success. The reason I made a co-operation with Gambit-Soft with "Phase X".
So I can check your work a bit, but at the moment I have too many work with the own site / tournaments.
Best
Frank
PS: Over 400 html pages around Winboard in times I gave it to Thomas Meyer. Full of information for all the engines. Thomas itself and later Leo made Winboard again more populare with strong works. Nice time and a Winboard page are often on ranking place in FIDE statistics from all chess websites in the World. The webmaster from the Garry Kasparow page wrote that Winboard should be a selection on the Kasparow site. But never I gave my permission. Oh yes, the site from Ed Schröder are this times also often in FIDE stats in TOP-5. A website in Argentina and Notzai from France are the rivals (FIDE stats) ...
