I had problems with arena and the computer crashed few times during the game. Computers showed no signal and later I saw nothing on the screen and I had to restart. I do not know if a crash of software can cause things like this because movei crashed many times during the developement because of a bug and it never happened and a crash of one application did not lead to a crash of all the system. I am not sure if arena is the problem but it is a possibility and I consider to use movei in console mode in the next rounds inspite of the fact that I do not like it. arena and winboard were tested much in engine-engine games but they were not tested much in playing games manually and there may be more bugs. I am also angry about arena that it did not show movei draw claim by 3 time repetition in the way movei claim it and it simply showed 3 fold repetition decleration. I thought that only Fritz shows bad behaviour by these claims even when the engine claims nothing but it seems that the same is for Arena. Note that movei claimed the draw and it can be seen in it's logfile but movei claim was not written in the arena interface and another claim was written. winboard does not support the time control of the tournament so I also do not like to use it so it seems that the only option that I have inspite of the fact that I dislike it is to use movei in console mode and to change somethings there. I am not sure what I am going to do in the next round and I will decide between winboard with even less time (115 minutes per game) or console mode. Uri
