Yes that way also works!

But the xboard way allows me to modify the engine, get debug output, try various different weights for pieces, put two engines against each other to see how specific features affect game play...

It helps me demystify such sophisticated software.

heh, did you ever upload a match between two engines to the site and let the online engine analyze it?

Very interesting idea!
