The beauty of software developement.... The engine research tool just uncovered a bug in the CP/RT Winboard adapter; from the rebel board: question: I tried ert beta 2. (a) Try : crafty vs gambit tiger with time control set at 40 moves in 90 minutes when match starts, crafty console says is 20 moves in 90 minutes for primary time control and 20 moves in 90 minutes for secondary time control is this a bug because total time would be 40 moves in 180 minutes, no? (also observed when using ert beta 1) answer: The problem is mapping of RT/CP levels to winboard levels, it incorrectly assumed the number of moves where specified in ply's and thus divides them by 2. I will create an updated winboard adapter. For the moment you can use the following workaround: Edit the engineext.ini file, the Level1= parameter string. In that string the %4 parameter represents the number of moves, just replace this %4 by the number of moves, e.g. 40. This will of course affect all tournaments levels, but most of them have 40 moves. Lex
