There are bugs in the autoplayer of Genius 6. José Bardiñas was right: as Master, the timeout specified in hours and minutes should be interpreted as minutes and seconds. That’s why it restarts a new game if the opponent computes for more than a few seconds. A problem is that the maximum timeout allowed is 9 minutes and 59 seconds, not enough for 40/120 games. As slave, it autoplays as intended, except when sometimes it decides on its own to become Master, as it happened last night after playing 2 games against Hiarcs 7. As a consequence, it only played 2 games and the scores saved by H7 were overwritten by new match.001 and match.002. :( Overall, a painful bug that will slow down these matches quite a bit. Enrique PS. Hiarcs 7 wins so far 5-2 and it's a pawn up in the 8th game, so it seems Hiarcs will lead the tournament again.
