Subject: Arena's "human" and "program" modes

Author: Matthias Gemuh

Date: 01:07:46 12/29/04



When my engine plays against another engine, it expects a "go" command at
start of game, like under WinBoard. When it plays against a human, it expects
no "go" commands. That works perfectly under WinBoard.
Under Arena, there is a problem ! Arena sometimes starts my engine in "human"
mode during engine-engine tournaments and no move gets played. When Arena
starts it in "program" mode, all works fine.
