For gromit: yes. The technical reason is, that the winboard-adapter uses the winboard-protocol in a way Gromit (and most other winboard-engines) don't expect: the whole game is sent before a search starts, which is fine if the engine knows it. However, most winboard-engines usually don't clear their hashtables during a game, but only when a game begins and are fooled to clear hashtables before every single move when using the winboard-adapter. Another advantage is that the native engines display more information (nodes/second, tablebaseaccesses). Bye, Frank > >John Hartmann
