Here I got the following result after doing so: Very clever, Volker. Thanks for confirming the bug and then also finding a workaround. I am also happy about this solution personally as alternatives would have had inconvenient consequences. a.) Faulty setup => I would have had to redo the games. But Crafty was set up correctly, fine. There was just some unknown bug in it. b.) Allow updates This would have been against the rules and also pretty unfair, as Junior for practical reasons was extremely unlikely to be provided with any in a similar situation. So fortunately it is c.), a workaround was found. For something nearly unrelated. In case the computer command still has similar effects as it used to have I don't think Crafty will be very happy with it. It used to narrow the book down to an extent that it became extremely vulnerable for an agressive learner. It probably also means that Crafty won't resign and never accept any draws if I recall correctly :(. At least I'll turn swindle off as I don't think anyone will see any need to debug the Nalimov tables. I actually thought I was watching a new and improved version of the computer command, not knowing that it just didn't work. Peter
