Go up one level in this thread


Hi Don,

Forgive me, if I try to understand it one last time within my limited
intellectual capabilities.

Can't whatever you mentioned as problems be 100% checked with a protocol test
program within Rebel which Ed Schröder described?

- If the opponent exceeds the time within a margin of error, you print a warning
in Rebel.
- If the game terminates before a mate or theoretical draw, Rebel warns.
- If any command is sent to Rebel which is not (as I wrote in the first post) 1.
a move or 2. a 'new game' command in a position of mate or theoretical draw, you
warn again.
- If you receive a 'new game' command in a position of mate or theoretical draw
you save the game yourself before executing the new game (as I suggested in the
first post).

Looks trivial to me and seems to cover all cases. I vaguely recall that Ed
Schröder described that he did similar experiments with a tester who had the
Fritz autoplayer and everything was fine.
