OTOH the result against Gambit Tiger looks very nice. >Although 24 games mean nothing, that is a great difference in score.

I have tested Yace as a WB engine under Shredder for a few games, and did not see any losses on time. Please make sure, to turn logging off under S5 for Yace as WB engine, especially for such short time controls. I have seen, that I miss some time from the internal bookkeeping compared to the time synchronization command sent by Shredder (something, that is also seen under other GUIs, and that can depend on "multi-media"-settings, animation of moves, etc.) This may explain the losses on time. I think, I have read here, that ERT/ChessPartner gives some bonus time to the engine, so that this cannot happen. I believe, the "new" should not be responsible for such a result. I am not too interested in looking too deep inside all those WB-matters for Shredder anymore, because I have implemented the UCI interface, and there is no need anymore to run Yace under Shredder as a WB-engine. Note however, that version 0.23 is not UCI compliant. You have to download a new version from Mogens site (which currently seems to be down). He has set up an alternative at http://mogens_72.tripod.com/ Regards, Dieter
