If possible why can't the programmer of the other chess program put some kind of safegaurd in his program to prevent this from ever happening no matter what autoplayer was use? If the chessbase autoplayer is clean, and as far as we know it is. Is it possible for the problem to in the the other programs themselves. When playing games by hand you don't play 30 or 40 games in a row. With a autoplayer there is almost no limit, could some programs have some kind of bug in them that only shows itself when the program is playing many games in a row without a restart.
