The autoplayer in G6 is a small disaster. I strongly advise you to use J5 as master. J5's autoplayer is not very smooth either, but much better than G6. >Everything is OK until Junior5 goes out of book. >When Junior makes it's reply Genius6 will not accept >the move. Or else, the game gets interrupted for no apparent reason and you must finish it manually. It happened to me many times. :((( >Another problem encountered is that Genius6 will >sometimes reset to a new game which is well below >the timeout setting. With G6 as master (if you must)you have to enter the timeout in minutes and seconds, not in hours and minutes as Genius says. It is a bug. The limit is 9 minutes 59 seconds, not enough for slow time controls. I have seen Hiarcs 6 and 7 taking up to 13x the time/move. For example, 13 minutes at 40/40 (1 minute per move average. But Hiarcs is an extreme example, closely followed by Tiger. This timeout limit should be safe at 40/40, but not slower. Enrique >Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. > >Regards > >Steven
