Hello Roy,

you have ...

/firstChessProgramNames="crafty1 /fd=\"d:\\crafty1
\"AnMon426 xboard\" /fd=c:\\AnMon426
GNUChess
"
/secondChessProgramNames="GNUChess
\"AnMon426 xboard\" /fd=c:\\AnMon426
"

Oh, Crafty d: and AnMon c:

Better a directory in WinBoard:

c:\WinBoard
c:\WinBoard\Crafty
c:\WinBoard\AnMon

No parameter for Crafty, you have a good crafty.rc :-))

My Crafty.rc

hash 24M
hashp 8M
log on
learn 7
book on
book random 1
book width 2
resign 9
tbpath=e:\TB_Neu
cache=4194304
display extstats

When you have the Table Bases from Nalimov !

And when you have not the Table Bases from Nalimov than ...

hash 24M
hashp 8M
log on
learn 7
book on
book random 1
book width 2
resign 9
display extstats

You can make log=off
or hash 12M and hashp 4M or hash 6M and hashp 2M or more ...

OK ...

Your WinBoard.ini ...

/firstChessProgramNames="crafty1 /fd=\"d:\\crafty1
\"AnMon426 xboard\" /fd=c:\\AnMon426
GNUChess
"
/secondChessProgramNames="GNUChess
\"AnMon426 xboard\" /fd=c:\\AnMon426
"

I think better is ...

/firstChessProgramNames="GNUChess
\"Crafty1\" /fd=d:\\Crafty1
\"AnMon426 xboard\" /fd=c:\\AnMon426

/secondChessProgramNames="GNUChess
\"Crafty1\" /sd=d:\\Crafty1
\"AnMon426 xboard\" /sd=c:\\AnMon426

You make an error in ...
/firstChessProgramNames="crafty1 /fd=\"d:\\crafty1

No fd=\" ...
\" !!!!!!!

Better fd=d:\\Crafty1


My WinBoard.ini (free programs)

(and more and more programs you can find)

Nalimov Table Bases in e:\TB_neu
Edwards Table Bases in e:\TB_alt
The programs use ~ 32 MB for HT !

And the config data from the programs ...
(Many programs have config file *.ini or *.cui or *.cfg)

Importent is ponder = off when you will play matches on one Machine with
one prozessor !


I hope I can help ...
Have a nice day with this config data :-)))


Kind regards
