I should have asked you directly!

If it is the swindle mode how can Crafty be sure that it is not doing something
wrong within the 5 piece Tbs. There is for sure absolutly NO acces to the HD
anymore. I see 99% CPU usage.

I doubt that there is a connection but I will add "swindle off". I see no sence
in that mode if I use "computer". Should'nt the engine switch off swindling (?)
automaticly.

Thats something you told me allready, but I could not see anything unusual up
till now and wanted to keep any "foreign" influence as minimal as possible.

I am starting to dream of an easy UCI Crafty or at least for a common set of
ini-commands for WB-Engines but that is like asking for a WB-Fritz (which I woul
not use either)! :-(
The preparation with Crafty.rc for a non experienced WB user lasts as long as my
whole match! 4 days, and I still find some "unusual" behavior with that
configuration. If Crafty would not be the reference I would allready have dumped
it!

A bit angry about all this *$%ยง
