Under Arena I get it to play black, but there is some kind of bug with undoing a
move I think. During the game if I don't take back any moves it plays fine, but
it plays a bad or illegal move when the following occurs:

1. I play a (bad) move
2. Sharper plays a good move, winning a piece
3. I think "oops" and I take back Sharper's move and my move (hitting the back
button twice in Arena)
4. I play a better move
5. Sharper plays a bad or illegal move

Under Winboard I can get it to play, and it plays fine except when I do the same
thing as desribed above (plays illegal move).

I am using a dual PIII 733.
