Hi Jose, > I have two computers. In the dual, I play with ponder on. Arasan works fine >here. Gromit and Francesca MAD also work fine here but: > Arena has a bug with time controls of x moves in y minutes, so I choose to use >time controls with increments, which work fine. The bug is this: supose we >choose 40 moves in 30 minutes and 30 minutes for the rest. Program A makes its >move 40, with 3 seconds left on the clock. Program B also moves and A starts to >think its 41 move. After 3 seconds, Arena says white has lost on time! It >forgets to update the clocks, and only do it _after_ move 41. I've seen this >myself after watching many different engines (not only Averno) losing on time. I >don't complain, Arena is freeware, it's a gift. I switch to a different time >control and I'm happy. Perhaps I have the Arasan problem have to do with my OS configuration or my Dual Xeon system. I have here bigger problems with Arasan and see from 5 games one game Arasan loosed on time with ponder = on. This is possible of course but no other engines have this problem on my system. You can download the ATL database and can check it. The others works fine. The loosed on time games I have with 40 in 10 after 64 moves or 73 moves, not after 39 moves or 78, 79 moves! I will download your engine and check the reported problem by yourself. Thanks for your note and helps in Arena development! Best Frank
