Subject: Winboard command "playother"

Hi,

i have now implemented all Protover 2 commands and all are working well but
without this "playother" command. I can't find a situation where Winboard is
sending this command.

I have tryd:
feature playother=1
feature colors=0

and

feature playother=1
feature colors=1

In both cases Winboard never sends this command. Who has implemented this
command? Can someone please give me an excample or a hint when does Winboard is
sending "playother".

Here the description in the engine-inf.htm:
playother
(This command is new in protocol version 2. It is not sent unless you enable it
with the feature command.) Leave force mode and set the engine to play the color
that is not on move. Associate the opponent's clock with the color that is on
move, the engine's clock with the color that is not on move. Start the
opponent's clock. If pondering is enabled, the engine should begin pondering. If
the engine later receives a move, it should start thinking and eventually reply.


have a nice day
Andreas
