Subject: problems with auto-playing

Author: Rajen Gupta

each time i auto play 2 comps against each other, after every few games, one or
the other computer's chess programme gets stuck: ie the programme stops
evaluating even though in all other ways it is still running ie the clock keeps
ticking and the finally the game ends in a time out. this has happened to me
quite frequently often in promising positions for one side. other than saving
the game and returning to autoplay the game, (which i never find the time to
do)there is nothing else i can think of. this happens more frequently when i am
using the comp for somthing but also happens during overnight games.

i have in fact stopped testing on 2 computers for this reason. as the results
tend to be unreliable esp if so many potentially decisive games have to be
discarded.

do others have similar problems and if not what am i doing wrong?
