It seems that Banksia does not recognize Winboard engines as being capable of playing chess960.
Thanks a lot for the feedback.
You are right. Actually even I have coded BSG to understand WB engine's chess variants, I did not test them with that chess variant since I was struggling to find them (Winboard engines supporting chess 960). Can you/someones suggest some of them? I prefer ones for macOS but Windows OK.
Don't know of any macOS ones, but here are a few FRC Winboard engines:
Thanks a lot for the links. Interestingly, two of those three engines can work with UCI protocol too thus they don't have any problem with BSG
I knew that was the case for one of them and indicated it in parentheses, but you can still test with them by manually setting the protocol to Winboard rather than "Auto detect".

I tried the new book conversion option.
Not all lines are there, even not all main lines are there.
I tried it with the bin book gm2600 that comes with Scid.
As you can see in the tree window, from the pgn file from the converted bin book. Only the moves dxc4, and Bf5 are there.
Thanks a lot for the report.
I am struggling to reproduce the problem. I do as the following steps:
1) Convert
For a quick test, I set the depth to 8 only, then convert from gm2600.bin (347 KB) to g2600.pgn (114 KB):
2) Verify
I open gm2600.bin to view (by BSG) and use a simple text editor to open g2600.pgn. For each line in the book tree, I simply search (text search) on the text editor.
Almost all lines can be found on the g2600.pgn (except the last two lines - they are shorter than 8 depth.
Can you help to check manually like the above steps? Thanks again.
