I made a dgt to winboard adaptor you can try (for CM8000/9000): http://home.online.no/~malin/sjakk/download/Dgt2Wb.zip It is in a beta-stage so if you try it I would like if you report any error/bug. Else the traditional use of Chesssvr program should work too. If you use CM9000, here is my CM9000.ini for Chesssvr. ## CM9000.ini #NEWGAME_WHITE = CTRL_DOWN+"N"+CTRL_UP+ENTER #NEWGAME_BLACK = CTRL_DOWN+"N"+CTRL_UP+ENTER+CTRL_DOWN+"I"+CTRL_UP HUMANS = 1 SLEEP = 200 TAKEBACK = CTRL_DOWN+"T"+CTRL_UP REDOMOVE = CTRL_DOWN+"R"+CTRL_UP ## End of file I have marked out the newgame_... because of a problem. When I look into my mail-folder I see that I sent an instruction for playing black to someone. --------- mail 30 jan. 2003 -------- Pre adjustment in ChessSvr as earlier, eg. a1 down and left and h8 up to right. Playing with Black. Alt 1. --------- Board are in standardposition with connector on left side. Black pieces nearest you. Eg. You have only switched side for the pieces. In Cm. Go into new game. Roted the board so black are at bottom. Select the Chessmaster personality at top and you at bottom. Click 'start' in ChessSvr Lift Black and White King and set them down again white Black kings last. Click OK in Chessmaster's 'new game' dialog. Chessmaster will move and you do his move on the board. Now it should do your black move on chessmaster's screen for you. Alt 2. --------- Board are in 'non'standardposition with connector on right side. Black pieces nearest you. Eg. You have set you on the other side of the board. In Cm. Go into new game. Standard setup with white pieces at bottom. Select the Chessmaster personality at bottom and you at top. Click 'start' in ChessSvr Lift Black and White King and set them down again white Black kings last. Click OK in Chessmaster's 'new game' dialog. Chessmaster will move and you do his move on the board. Now it should do your black move on chessmaster's screen for you. ------------------------ It seems to confuse more thasn help with the following to lines in CM9000.ini (in ChessSvr folder) NEWGAME_WHITE = ...... NEWGAME_BLACK = ...... so you could mask them away like this: #NEWGAME_WHITE = ...... #NEWGAME_BLACK = ...... -------------------------- end of mail ------------- Hope this help. Odd Gunnar
