My EXchess shows version 2.45, not 2.46, for the one I downloaded. My only
suggestion is to download them again. Perhaps Chessbase had a faulty one at
their url and replaced it with the correct one later. I have found that
sometimes Chessbase makes corrections to their download versions but says
nothing about it. There does seem to be somekind of a mystery at times. When I
had both Exchess and Crafty15.20 running at the same time (in that sequence)both
showed on the screen but only Exchess showed its calculation. When I reversed
the sequence with Crafty first and Exchess second both showed calculations. So,
I don't know. But you should try downloading again. Good luck!
