Works fine here. You probably forgot the -zp (zippy) option or didn't compile in zippy support, which is required to run a chess program to the chess server. So for compiling read zippy.README in the xboard package. To build the Zippy version of xboard, on most systems just do: configure --enable-zippy make to start xboard I use: xboard -zp -ics -fcp chessprogram -autoflag regards Andy
