This happens if the score of the book-line is very poor. So if the score for white is very poor, the white-engine is forced to think on its own not using the book. On the other side the black-engine will play the book moves, because the score for black is very good as the opposit of the white score. >3 Engine Matches seem to freeze a couple of moves after each is out of book. >This was using WChess 2000 and Genius 6.

Yes this is a very disappointing bug, but when you leave the book and the engine stands still, just double-click in the bottom line of the WChess analysis window. Immediatly the game will go on autoplaying until the next game when WChess has to calculate its first move. Then the procedure starts again. Horrible Good luck Marcus
