Go up one level in this thread


In my opinnion, this is a problem of Junior 9 (Junior 8 too!).

I test in a experiment this on the GUI from 2004.04.07 with Junior 8 and with
Fritz 8.

Junior 8 have an problem my 50 move rules - see Screen here on my PC:

But Fritz 8 have no problem - F8 played against me normaly 50 move rules without
an error message!

Best,
Eduard
