Subject: An Auto232 solution!

Author: Dann Corbit

A big problem with Auto232 players is that they are programmed wrong.  I have a
solution:
Skeptical mode.

In skeptical mode, the chess engine ignores any reset directives.  It just keeps
on pondering and changes nothing unless some actual move sequence *forces* a
change in mode.  In other words, in "skeptical" mode many of the winboard
directives are simply ignored.

Will it help?  Actually, I think the programs that succeed _must_ already be
doing this.
