Do you have a bookc.bin or books.bin file??? I have both. I use the book.bin, bookc.bin and books.bin file offered for download at ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/common/. It was something Crafty played against another computer in this case. In the logfiles it says: "playing a computer!" in all games. When I start it in text mode it also points out that it finds a bookc.bin file (this is not logged in general in either text or WinBoard mode). The game logfile suggests that it will play 1. e4, 1. d4 and 1. f4 as white. If I start crafty in text mode, say "show book", and "move" the output suggests it will only play 1. e4 and 1. d4. So maybe there is some bug in Crafty 19.4 in XBoard mode - I use it with WinBoard 4.2.6. If there is additional information I can provide, please tell me. Anyway - the opening didn't seem to be the problem in any game so far. Peter
