question : Starting a game from a given position in WB ?

[Marc Lacrosse]

Is there a way to start a game between two engines from a command prompt like this :
start /wait C:\WinBoard\winboard -cp -fcp "engine1" -fd "C:\engine1" -scp "engine2" -sd "C:\engine2" -initString "new\n" /mg 10 /tc 5 /inc 3
with the game beginning from a given position (FEN or fragment of a pgn) ?

Is there a way to put it in a command to be given with the "-initstring" switch ?

Thanks

Here is an ancient post that should help you doing that: http://www.aarontay.per.sg/Winboard/nunn.html

If it isn't enough, just ask again.
