Hello Odd Gunnar,

Thanks for the idea.

I tried Inittime = 5 before the version beta 21 and it was not ok :(

The try with Shredderclassic is also not good by me.

I am triying on a Pentium Centrino 1,6 ghz.

But Sharpchess2 is playing fine with Arena and Winboard.

I have tried starttime = 15 but the result is not good. Sharpchess2 is thinking
but don'nt play.

With starttime = 30 or startime = 8, wb2uci receive illegal move

here is an example :
