But I really don't know. Both observations are correct. If you type the word "ask" in the Shredder GUI, a special mode for manual operation in tournaments is started. When this mode is activated, the area around the board lights up in an ugly red colour when the computer makes a move, and the program asks the operator to correct the program's clocks if necessary. The pondermove is always displayed on the screen, and can be entered quickly simply by clicking on it. Tord
