Dieter Buerssner mentioned in the previous post that this is an ambiguity in the WinBoard protocol. Just something to think about. Translating with InBetween solves the problem for me, so I'm happy :). By the way, thanks for a great contribution to Computer Chess freeware! Arena is already very nice and sure to get better! Ralph
