Hi John, Thanks for your input. I do have version 1.0.4, so I think I have the latest patch. But I think you may be on to something with the "Auto" selection. I did, in fact, adjourn my 2nd round game. After completing that round, I probably did push the "Auto" button for the 3rd round. That would make sense on why I "lost" on the first move... I ran out of time! I'm sure that's it. I'm looking forward to the new version in a couple of weeks! Surprisingly, still no information on the Chessmaster site!!?? Thanks again...
