Hi Wael,

yes!

But with the time conrols I used 40 moves in 10 / 20 / 40 minutes Arena works
stabel since version 0.95 I believe. The programmer of Wildcat gave me good tip
in WinBoard forum at this time. Today I have played more as 30.000 games on my
machines under Arena and the most problems I saw in this games are problems from
the different engines. In combination with UCI and WB Arena works fine for me
too, all the times.

And all with 1:1 support of WB1, WB2, UCI1 and UCI2.
This is really important for computer chess to make a GUI compatible to the
possibilitys we have today.

The development of Arena is the problem. A lot of new option are added in some
are problems Martin fixed from time to time. I am sure that the newest version
of Arena ist the most stabil and most interesting version we have, means that we
have now a really good release version of Arena and this is the reason we gave
the version free for all.

Thanks!

Best
Frank

PS: I am happy too.
So many wishes I start with engines for around six years and 90% of my wishes
are added in only one GUI :-) Martin made my hobby to an event.
