Hi Odd,

I believe my English is too bad to explain the mistake :-(

Another:

40 moves in 5 minutes with the *.init file from my News Ticker and the
InBetween.ini from my News Ticker. The King version 3.12 with

A) WinBoard adapter from 23.11.00

I make the first move ... 01. e3
The answere by TheKing is 01. ... e5

Now I make not a move and looked only in the GUI which move TheKing analyses in
ponder mode:

I saw:

Ply 5 ... ply 6 ... ply 7 ... ply 8 ... ply 9 ... and here TheKing stoped with
permanent brain. In TaskInfo I can see 0% processor time.

---------

B) WinBoard adapter from 24.05.01
   (no changes in the configurtion)

I make the first move ... 01. a3
The answere by TheKing is 01. ... e5

Now I make not a move and looked only in the Fritz GUI which move TheKing found
in ponder mode:

I saw:

Ply 5 ... ply 6 ... ply 7 ... ply 8 ... ply 9 ... and here TheKing stoped
permanent brain and start permanent brain for black move 03 !!!!

But I play not my white move 02 in the position after 01. a3 e5 ...

Maybe it is a mistake in the WinBoard adapter from Chess-Base ... think so at
the moment !

Best
Frank
