So was I, which means it works just fine. No, I think autoplayers do funny things at times. For instance, when the original version of Fritz 5.32 autoplays, it doesn't access tablebases and doesn't learn. There is a patch that solves these problems. And a long etcetera. At times, hopefully very few, autoplayers do funny things. It must be this, or at least this the only explanation I can think of. I would still like to see if someone from the SSDF can double check this move with their F5A of the same version as mine. Enrique
