Subject: ATTN: JOHN MERLINO CM 8000 Xboard Issues(Long)

Author: Paul Doire

Date: 13:40:34 11/15/00


I recently installed 23 Winboard engines into CM8000 .I used the attached
Winboad.ini file based on Frank Quisinsky's config2.zip and engine detail pages
for all command line parameters.

NOTE: the executables in my ini file have the last known rating from Franks page
added to part of the name, so when it displays in winboard I can see ELO of the
two engines while they play.

All engines work fine under Winboard.

my comments that follow are based on lookin at engine monitor windows in CM8000.

11 Engines aren't working as follows:

1.AnMon 5.09-nothing
2.Arasan 5.4-plays book only
3.Bringer-1.7-starts GUI as it should but nothing else
4.Gnuchess 4.14-seems to move until 0-0 is necessary then stops
5.GreenLightChess 2.10-displays move in window but doesn't make it
6.Nejmet 2.57-nothing
7.NewRival 1817-starts GUI-nothing else
8.Phalanx 22-resigns immediately
9.Raffaela 0.0.2-starts GUI-illegal move
10.Tao 4.4-program displays CM8000 performed illegal operation,will shut
down-invalid page fault
11. Yace 023-nothing

Also THE KING engine moves instantly with no thinking or hash searching,it
displays one line and never varies.
