Hi, i've just completed the first working version of my winboard engine; it's called 'LarsenVB' and it's written in Visual Basic.... ok, ok ..... stop laughing now :) I'm starting my testing on FICs and i still have a couple of question unsolved: draws: currently i don't allow draws by agreement; the engine refuses the draw request simply by making its move, how can i add a short tell like "sorry, this computer ...."? maybe with 'tellics' command? seek: i would like to issue a seek continuously; i include it in my ics.ini to issue the command at logon, is it correct to use the -zippyGameEnd option to repeat the command after every game? resuming adjourned games: zippy.README states "The getMoveList option controls how adjourned games are continued. If it is True (the default), xboard fetches the move list from ICS and feeds it into the chess program before having the program start play." in which way winboard does this? simply by setting force mode on, then submitting every single move then finally using "white"/"black"/"go" commands? Thanks in advance. Luca
