Assuming WB-II as you're receiving the 'setboard' command: Do you send 'feature time=0' when starting up? Remove that or replace with 'feature time=1' and you'll get the time/otime commands. Additionally you should look at one of the fics settings for resuming games. You really want to get the move sequence instead of just the position. bye, Richard. > >Hoping my english is not to bad. > >Mathieu P.
