I meant to translate the level command direct. ; Ex. for 60min/game + 15 sec. inc. level 0 60 15 := setlevel 5 3600 15 ; Ex. for 60min/40 move level 40 60 0 := setlevel 1 40 3600 40 3600 ; Infinity analysis (Wb2Uci use 1440 but select your own values in ; other gui-programs. Maybe analyze could be translated instead) level 1 1440 0 := setlevel 0 99 Then you can add all your prefered timecontrols to the same file without the need to edit the file between games. The 'time' command should be left alone as it is so the engine can adjust itself when there are lag etc. To Ed. For an author the inbeetween is a debugging tool to see the commandflow between an engine and a gui, if you expect that a gui give wrong commands etc. ; Simple InBetween.ini file [InBetween] CommandLine := rebel12.exe Debug := 3 ; If you want to log the flow to a file unmask the line below ;Log := logfile.log Let both this file (InBetween.ini) and InBetween.exe be in the engine folder and select InBetween.exe instead of rebel12.exe as the engine when you want to take a quick look at the protocol flow. There are much more in it but that are most for correcting ev. error you find without changing the gui/engine. It can also fix files etc. I use it to fix the pgn-file from ChessAssistant before I make it available for download. Odd Gunnar
