If you would view my entire forelast message, you will also see at the bottom the links to some other engines, amongst which TJshogi and TJxiangqi. :-)

GNU Shogi will not directly run under WinBoard. (It is not truly WB
compatible, although the Chess engine from which it was derived was.) I
did succeed in running GNU Shogi under WinBoard with the aid of a general adaptor program that was configured for interchanging the command 'black' and 'white'. The complete setup for this is still on my website as

http://home.hccnet.nl/h.g.muller/DemoPack.zip

This contains a quite old WinBoard version, though. I am also not sure if
you can automatically play TJshogi gainst GNU Shogi, as I am not sure if
they both use the way to indicate square coordinates. TJshogi might use a1
where GNU Shogi uses 9a. Now WinBoard has a command-line option to tell it
which coordinates to use, but currently will use the same coordinates for
both engines. This is another thing on my to-do list, to make this
separately configurable for each engine.

The DemoPack also contains the executable of HoiXiangqi (the website of
which seems to have diappeared).
