Winboard and Fritz send before (after?) each move a command, how much time is left for how much moves. I read this and work with it. Till now, I have not found the logic of Fritz´s time sending command, how he calculates it... With increments, the problem does not occur so bad. > >c) "Inexplicable Bugs" during the match: First versions of Little Goliath, >Olithink, Monik 19 Had also the problem with a1-a1. This happened, when my program was not installed full (no openbook...). Then my program produced wrong moves (move for the wrong color) which I think is interpreted as a1-a1 from fritz (not sure). But it sure is a bug in the engines. I also get it now sometimes, when I take back moves and so on but am not able to find the bug. > >I can be wrong, but I think that would be perhaps better Chessbase to rethink >the form as your " adapter " links with these different engines, leaving him/it >in similar molds to the of products as the Chessvision / Chesspartner. At all, I like my program under the Fritz Environment very much, because you can see much, and have much options. For Tournaments in earnest, I prefer Winboard. Greetings Werner
