Subject: Problem with winboard

Author: James Robertson

Date: 10:15:05 10/24/99


My program has always worked perfectly with winboard, but suddenly I seem to be
having problems. Whenever it is black, it plays about 10-15 moves, then stops
and loses on time. At first I thought it was my program's fault, but its log
files seem and the winboard debug file makes me wonder.

Here is the debug file from a short game where everything seems to be in order.
Look at the last five or six lines. It seems to output its move (Ne7) correctly,
but winboard appears to have ignored it. Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
James
