Lex,
This one is about the game start and the engine not moving.
I hope the log at the end will help.
New game is started. In this case the engine is black in the new game and was
white in the previous game.
My opp started with c4. Pro Deo started calculating and after a few secs
restarts calculating again from ply 1 showing different lines. The game tab
shows:

[Site "?"]
[Date "2005.02.12"]

[Black "?"]
[Result "*"]

The board however was still in initial position. e5 seems to be the result of
the first calculation. Then e3 is somehow entered as response and thus the
engine restarts calculating.
Also strange is the FEN above. It complies with the move order in the game tab
but the log doesn't show anything like that being sent. But then again, this may
come of the "undo" being sent (see log).
After I manually entered Nf6 as response the game started so: 1. c4 Nf6 2. Nf3
c5 3. g3 b6 4. Bg2 Bb7 5. O-O g6 6. Nc3 Bg7
The game before Pro Deo as white got flagged. This game started immediately
after that. Maybe that has some influence too. Because the first setboard in the
log is the end position of the flagged game. Because of the "new" I think that
CP is sending the position to the engine although the game is already finished
and that might be the start and the cause of the problems I am seeing.
