Go up one level in this thread



You must replay. ChessBase GUIs are fond of this.
Here is what happens: GUI starts external engine and sends commands _before_
engine finishes initialization. Engine misses first commands and communication
is broke. This problem arises mostly when an engine has just finished playing
and has to clean-up, unload, reload, initialize, and play again.
So don't penalize engine for GUI's haste and stupidity.
