I'm not familiar with Gandalf, presumably a winboard engine(?). I'm not familiar with Winboard, but don't have anything extra installed in that regard. I simply installed CM8000 clean then applied the patch clean, nothing extra. It is presumably the US version (chessmaster.exe had the proper number of bytes), which was purchased via their advanced sales in October then shipped to me in Illinois in November. I tried it several times in different ways. It always had the extra king engine running in Game Room, and I couldn't get rid of it. It was only half as fast as the unpatched version to analyze a position in the Thinking Lines window in a human vs human game . I don't know exactly what is relevant here, but some of my system information is: Microsoft Windows 98 4.10.2222 A Normal mode Hewlett-Packard with 500MHz Intel(r) Celeron(tm) Processor 191MB RAM 70% system resources free Windows-managed swap file on drive C (10684MB free) Available space on drive C: 10684MB of 12398MB (FAT32) Internet Explorer: Version 5.50.4522.1800CO Build 54522.1800 Date of Last Install 12/18/00 Language English (United States) Active Printer HP DeskJet 610C Series,HPFDJC20,LPT1 Cipher Strength 128-bit Content Advisor Disabled Update Versions ;SP1;Q279328; Java VM Version 5.0.3319.0 IEAK Install Yes DirectX 7.0 (4.07.00.0716) Rockwell HCF 56K Data Fax PCI Modem with Master Riptide PCI Audio Device on the same board, and Riptide PCI Audio Legacy Resources manufactured by Conexant.
