Rebel 12 will be replaced >Athlon 1.3/256 MB, Stufe 120'/60 + 60'/30 + 30', You can't use this timecontrol without testing if it is running through wb2uci. As default now the adapter will only send the first level command, added especially for those who run comp-comp matches to not be unfair on the engine. This should give the engine too much time after move 60 so maybe there is a bug anyhow. I think I did read about a similar bug for one of the beta versions. When I made the adapter I did a lot of testing for this level thing, but one thought didn't cross my mind, people would use the adapter for comp-comp matches. All my consern was in human-comp games to let the user train in whatever timecontrol he was facing the next tournament. For computer matches I would recommand to use 'LevelExtend=none' (for the latest adapter the line can be removed because this is the default now) for all winboardengines that are run via wb2uci. Then run your comp matches like 120'/40+120'/40+120'/40, this is done in the Fritz GUI by setting the second and third timecontrol to 0. You can also run the match with the new FIDE timecontrol 90'/g+30 or any rapid/blitz timecontrol (called blitzgame in Fritz). For human-engine games you can set 'LevelExtend=failsafe' if you don't want to test too much and have to use a 'none'-winboard timecontrol. Odd Gunnar
