This is the first step to get a bugfix:-). BTW it is not possible to use Junior as a slave agaimst other opponents. Because of this it is for example difficult to get Junior 5 starting to play against Hiarcs 6 (dos). I did manage this be stopping the first game by "bewerten" (in german). After this Junior start the first game with black!? Do you think that there will be a patchfile? Best greetings. Hannu Wegner
