Restarting the program takes even longer, you have to free and reinitialize the hash (~ 1 sec for any decent size hash), and you don't get the level of testing you want because you don't catch the bugs there might be in not restating the program. Winboard would still do this delay thing, it seems to be at the startup and not at closing down. I've found that when playing from pgn's or fen's with Galis it only does it every other game. It's quite clear that it runs two fast games in a row, then pauses, then two fast game, then a pause. You really get to dislike that pause I tell you :) -S. >The link if you are interested (I am still using version 0.42): >http://koti.mbnet.fi/~jorio/tourney/ > >Regards, >Günther
