UCI/Winboard engines for eBoards

I had some requests to make my eBoard drivers work in Chessmaster but that program only talks to Winboard engines so my DLL files couldn't work. I have now created versions of my drivers that run as chess engines using both the UCI and Winboard protocols. So now you can use your eBoards in Chessmaster and other GUIs that don't support the DGT Rabbit interface. It isn't ideal as you need to use an engine vs engine match but it's better than nothing!

There are currently engines for boards by Certabo, Chessnut, DGT (including Pegasus), Millennium (including eOne), Novag (Citrine and UCB) and Square Off (Pro only). They are included in the Setup programs that can be downloaded from my web page:

The DLL versions for these boards should still be used in Arena (and CB-Emu), ChessBase/Fritz, LucasChess and Shredder.

So you have to have a copy of chessmaster and import the winboard into chessmaster?

Yes, you need to have Chessmaster already. My download is only the Winboard engine that can be imported into Chessmaster.

New to eBoards, UCI, Engines. Is there an easy to follow beginners guide anywhere? I have a recently purchased Chessnut Air board, but my laptop's ancient. Is it possible/relatively easy to use an Android phone? Was fascinated by this weighted avatar thing, though as I don't know the basics it's confusing LOL https://www.avataruci.org/download/ Oh, BIG respect to all the technically minded folks doing great work in the computer chess field 👍
