Hi Amir, Thank you for your answer! Sorry, I did not want to activate the discussion about the "cheating autoplayer. I should have send you the information via email. But you can see that I'm not the only one who discoverd this bug. My only intention was to help. I was hoping to get correct working autoplayerfeature in the next ChessBase-products (Nimzo 99 and Fritz 5.32) or a patch for Junior 5. Perhaps ChessBase did test the autoplayer-feature more seriosly with there own engines. When Junior 5 is playing against Crafty everything works fine. But in that moment when I use a different program (Mimzo 98, Nimzo 3,3.5, Genius 1,2,3,4,5, Rebel 6,7,8,9, Fritz 3!?, Shredder 2, CSTal (dos), Gandalf 3, M-Chess 7,8) the bug is existent. (I did test it with all above writen programs.) I do not know if this is just a problem of my configuration. I do use Junior 5 on my P133-Notebook 40MB-Ram and the other programs on my P166, 48MB. Junior 5 on the P166 I did not test it with all programs, but it seems to change nothing. The best would be to find the problem. I think other testers could tell me if they also had problems with the Juniorautoplayer. Then it would be confirmend that it has nothing to do with my configuration.
