In fact I have never observed crafty to announce Matxx. >Is there something I should add to the crafty.rc file? Hello, If you are using Winboard then your display is normal. You will see a score like +326.52 or something like that with the <EGTB>. Bob can tell you how to decipher that number into a "Mate in XX". He posted it here but I forgot already. If you run WCrafty in a dos box you will see the display with the score being "Mate in XX". Or you can look at the log file after playing and it will show the score/moves etc. I do wish Crafty would show the "Mate in XX" in Winboard. Jim Walker
