This is right, but the most "Winboarder" play with debug file. I have from all my games the debug files. Here I can see all important information. Furthermore have a lot of programs very good logfile. The best example is Crafty ! Here I can see informations about TBs and hash information. The logfile from Crafty is fantastic ! But right is ... Better good informations in the GUI, I like the Chess-Base GUIs and I play in 2-3 weeks an dual tournament. Tournament A) 14 native engines under the Young-Talents GUI ! Tournament B) 14 engines under the WinBoard GUI ! I will play on an dual system with ponder ! Tournament time is 1 year ! For this dual tourney I create a new webpage (CCE page) ! More informations about the 2 tourney coming soon ! Gromit play in group 1 (Chess-Base tourney) :-)) Have a nice day ! Regards Frank > >Bye, >Frank > > >> >>John Hartmann
