Go up one level in this thread


I have always thought that using adapters should be avoided if possible.
Perhaps that is the problem.

One way to check it out is to run a List512 (or another UCI engine) vs
ShredderUCI in both arena and chessbase gui with no opening book at a set time
control.  I'll check that out tommorrow unless you would rather do it yourself.

Then of course winboard engines could be tested without book under winboard and
arena as a similar experiment.

I'm of the opinion that for computer tournaments you want an interface and setup
that is as simple as possible to avoid "bugs".
