Hi Vincent. I was using Arena 3.0 as a GUI, but I even got it to raise the exception by running the program and typing the following commands in the console window:

xboard
protover 2
new
level 40 5 0

It was the level command that caused problems. I didn't take a particularly close look at the code.


Thanks, that is enough to locate the problem! After 'protover 2' my engine replied by sending 'feature myname="Purple Haze v2.0.2-1-g336e2e0"' and expected 'accepted myname' but received 'new'. I will separate the treatment of 'feature' and 'accepted' commands in my code so that my engine will not be confused if 'accepted' commands are not sent immediately or in the same order.

I'm currently methodically reviewing my code and testing each feature. Version 2.0.2 fixed several bugs but I found another yesterday causing me a strength loss of maybe as much as 150-200 ELO (in very short time control). A new version will be released in a week or two.
