I just checked it again with WB. 4.2.6, no "computer" in Crafty.rc, and indeed it looks like in your example above... I seem to have overlooked it in the other tests, thinking it should appear more at the beginning of the log. But I don't find a similar command for Black which was Phalanx in my test, so it seems as if WinBoard does this for Crafty especially (?). >Yace also always receives the computer from WB in enginematches (very old >versions of WB did only send the computer for ICS play). > >I think the computer in crafty.rc is basically useless (for engine matches under >Winboard or other WB/XB Guis).
