As far as I remember all other winboard engines in my tournament don't show such problems (and I mean not only the native CB engines, like crafty and comet). Perhaps this is a special problem for Nimzo. Originally it comes with the Millennium packet, perhapt also adjusted to their winboard adapter? By the way, I got Yace 0.23 from Dieter and included it in my tourney. No good start yet, Yace lost against Gromit 3, but it is fun to watch Yace play. Thanks for your tip! Joachim
