Sending the "new game command + the move list" every new move is a playing strength killer for each Winboard engine and I don't want my engine to play under these Interfaces until it is fixed. >Also happy Christmas for you and sorry for my very bad message in this year in >an eMail to your group of beta testers. I made here a big mistake. That is okay Frank, from the beginning I knew your heart was in the right place. Merry Christmas to you too! Ed >Best >Frank
