Yace Paderborn (UCI) in an engine match under CA 71 produces a pop up message box after each Yace move with statistical informations (interior recognizer..., learned position or main variations). You can close these boxes by clicking "ok" but these pop up informations don't disturb the running match. Important: It seems that these pop up message boxes appear only when Yace plays with white ! Another observation: The older UCI engine of Deep Shredder 5 shows the same behaviour under CA 7.1; there appear pop up messages boxes too (with informations to the remaining time) - and also when Shredder plays white ! So these are not Yace specific problems; maybe it's a problem in CA in handling such additional engine informations. Regards, Manfred
