The tourneys stopped after I believe 120 moves. Now the persons await from our team a bugfix. Perhaps you understand my message now a little bit better. We can't see a reason to fixed some things! The next problem I have are the adapters. Arena don't need the adapters because Arena have a very good WB and UCI support. Arena users try the adapter, find mistakes and write us a mail. What I have to answer in this case? Arena don't need a adapter is for the most not an await answer because the users are thinking if the program need under other GUIs an adapter the engine must used the adapter under Arena too :-) This have not to do with Rebel, max a little bit because I see that Ed have an adapter configuration on his commercial Rebel CD-Rom. Ed is thinking on the ChessBase users and add the adapter on the CD. This is OK but give me a good explanation for people which asked us to the adapter storys. Example: Look in Arena Event Forum ... Michael Jesdinsky: http://f27.parsimony.net/forum67213/messages/2301.htm And much other of the messages about it! Jose, please believe me ... The best way is to work hand in hand and to make the engines compatible to each other GUIs. You know that this is at the moment not possible because every GUI programmer have other ideas. But for users its a little chaos, perhaps not for you but for much others. And the problems comes to a good support which try to solved such problems. So I give me the question: Why we make such a work to make all compatible if different users will used an adapter! And all this for a perfect working GUI which don't need such adapters. I can give you the answer :-) The persons like UCI and like it to get more information by the engine. We can solved the problem with a WB protocol III. Now you know the reason for my messages here. Not more not less ... because I like it to have an result if I make me the work and give such comments. Not again yourself, not again Ed or others ... The problem are the converter / adapters for GUIs which don't need it. Last comment: Try ProDeo without the UCI adapter, it works better ... believe me! Best Frank
