Hi Sarah, Thanks for looking at the site, and I fixed the rc file missing error. It was simply a typo. The purpose of the Crafty site is to have a place where someone can easily download, configure, and ask questions to people (I am adding a forum this evening) that know alot about Crafty without asking here when they can find the information easily. Also I used to have a Crafty website about two years ago and I let it fail so I am simply just starting it up again. It was popular back then, as I think this one will be. I added your site because I look at your site frequently as I find the various tournaments you run, and the rating list you have interesting and useful. I'm glad that you do not mind that I put it there, as I feel others can enjoy your site as well. If you wanted to update your site and learn some easy ways to do it, I can help you with that if you like. It is very simple to do once you make a site "template" like I have done, then editting the pages is a snap and takes no time at all. About your "computer" question. When playing via Winboard, Crafty recieves the computer command and thus adjusts it's setting accordingly. Also when issueing the computer command via the rc file for other interfaces or on it's own, it must be on the second line in your rc file I have found. I don't know the reason, but it seems to work: found computer opening book file [./bookc.bin]. EGTB access enabled using tbpath=./TB 5 piece tablebase files found 14005kb of RAM used for TB indices and decompression tables playing a computer! <<<<<<<<<<<<<---- It shows it playing a computer adaptive estimated NPS = 800K adaptive minimum hsize = 12M adaptive maximum hsize = 96M adaptive minimum psize = 12M adaptive maximum psize = 24M EGTB cache memory = 32M bytes. show book statistics Crafty v19.10 White(1): Here is my rc file: egtb computer adaptive 800K 12M 96M 12M 24M cache=32M log=off show book exit I hope this helps. Peter.
