Greg Simpson: >>I don't have "such problems" in Winboard, I have a problem with one game out of >>40 with Rybka, and none out of thousands with Fruit, Toga, Crafty, Ruffian and >>Zappa. I don't think the problem is Winboard related. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- On December 06, 2005 at 03:05:48, Graham Banks wrote: >Winboard support: Ditto - not supported.

I beta tested Rybka for Vas since > 1.5 years under WB and most people are aware that Polyglot gives 1:1 support for WB. (Vas also never saw any reason to complain and was happy about my bug reports _regarding_ Rybka until today) If you would follow your reasoning you should never test WB programs in Chessbase(but you do with the WB2UCI adapter plus the UCI.dll adapters from CB, which always had reported dozens of bugs - not even speaking of all other WB adapters ever created by SMK and CB which were even buggier), especially your beloved Chessmaster personalities. I never experienced any problems in 1000s of games with UCI programs using Polyglot in WB. Why do you think Fabien had created it with the feedback of Leo and me, if not allowing his Fruit play the best way in WB? May be you were confused by either messages from unexperienced users, or by users reporting problems _on chess servers_? (Polyglot was never intended to work with chess servers and AFAIK all problems were timestamp problems or again user errors) Have you even tried to reproduce the problem of Greg in CB or Arena?
