Thanks! :) > >Sargon It's a 'race' condition that you mean :) It's my understanding this is a possible x/WinBoard issue that can be fixed by WinBoard sending a few extra ping/pong's at the right times. So you just have to make sure you support that command. I don't remember the details, but this could be like, for example, sending a 'resign', and because in the meantime the game was aborted due to other reasons and a new one started, having it arrive in the next game. -- GCP
