(no more thinking infos, no more CPU activities of the King, and the protocol file of Wb2Uci shows only ´.´ from that moment on) So I made some tests, but until now its totally unclear for me what or where is the reason for this problem: 1) it works in analyze mode, but not in normal play mode 2) it works for King installed as WB-engine, but not as UCI-engine with Wb2Uci 3) the same problem occurs with all 3 Kings (3.12, 3.23 and 3.33) 4) it works for ProDeo as UCI-engine with exactly the same version of Wb2Uci After 1) and 2) I would think it´s a problem of the Wb2Uci-adaptor, but OTOH as it works in 4) for ProDeo under the same conditions, this seems not to be the reason - so I´ve really no idea ... Maybe anyone here could try and confirm this problem? Regards, Franz.
