I have no problems taking back moves in Winboard >using Crafty... Well that's what happened in the game diep-crafty, alt-del takes back 2 plies that fixes some big troubles for crafty in winboard, but if you take back one by one, well ask michel langeveld himself! Anyway, i've only seen horror using crafty with winboard and operating by hand. I can put through clock *any* hand operated winboard + crafty anyway. Michel had put crafty at 4 minutes whole game. So 3 minutes operator time. If i wouldn't have won on position, i definitely would have won on clock. for some weird reasons winboard might be doing the timestamp stuff at icc in a way that it looks like as if each move is costing no time, in reality if you operate by hand you'll see it does eat loads of time! Also another problem which many people had is that when you hit EGTBs, that moving goes dead slow. This also happened in diep, despite that i get the REAL time and not the cpu time. I have to figure out what the real problem is, but i definitely lost on clock because of this against Goliath. If i would have won that game i might have been world champion blitz with diep as there only was 1 round to go after that. But now what happened was that i put as usual when 3.5 minutes left on my clock diep back to 1 minute whole game, and each move it took like 4 to 5 seconds or so to move. Add to that 1 minute and you know why i forfeited, even though my position was lost, so objectively the win was correct for goliath! Best regards, Vincent
