Subject: Rebel 12 in Winboard

I am sure that this question has already been asked in this forum, but if so, I
cannot find it with the search engine.

I have problems in running Rebel 12 in Winboard, in fact it starts up fine, but
when it should start playing it crashes. I use the Rebel12_cb executable (but
Rebel12 does not work in Winboard either), my winboard.ini entry looks as
follows:

"Rebel12_cb w7 nolearn.eng" /fd="E:\Program
Files\Lokasoft\ChessPartner5.3\engines\Rebel12" /firstProtocolVersion=1 ;
/name="Rebel_CB 12"

I tried both with WB protocol version 1 and 2.

First Rebel complained about the "computer" string (invalid input) but also with
/firstComputerString="" it crashes.

The following is the winboard debug file:


recognized 'normal' (-1) as variant normal
WinBoard 4.2.3 + Rebel12_cb
Reset(1): gameMode 0
recognized 'normal' (-1) as variant normal

What do I miss?
