Lykke There was a lot of talk about the J5 autoplayer lately, and here's what I know now: - Sometimes the J5 autoplayer gets stuck, or, according to some, crashes. This does not happen all the time, but on some systems only, and some even report it depends on the engine (more problems with Crafty15.20 than with Junior5). So far ChessBase are still trying to reproduce this. I managed to reproduce this yesterday so I can confirm this. According to what I see, the engine stops playing, always at a point where it is lost. The GUI is alive and you can adjudicate the game, or wait for the timeout, and move to the next game. That's on my system and maybe on others the GUI crashes or goes dead. - The problem that save-game comes after new-game has so far only been reported by Hannu, I think. I don't see this and neither do ChessBase. Even when the autoplayer is stuck, when you snap out of it it will save-game and then new-game, at least on my system. A possible explanation to what Hannu saw is this: If the J5-autoplayer is the slave and is stuck and stops responding, the master will wait until the timeout, then save the game, start a new game, and wait, ad infinitum. If anyone else sees this problem, please report it. Amir
