OK, thanks Ted, obviously there is a problem. I hadn't noticed in Mozilla the warning in the lower right hand corner that said there was an authentication problem. I would like to purchase this product, so I think I'll fire off an email to them and let them know what is going on. That'll teach me to...

That's odd. The purchase link goes to an https address (https://www.worldchesslive.com/bj/purchase.html#). Does it revert back to an http address after you've filled out information on several screens?

I voted yes, because I'm sick and tired of clone bickering drowning out good stuff. There's a new version of Junior out, yet there's nary a word about it in CCC. Apparently people these days are more interesting in putting each other down than talking about computer chess. Link to Bobby Junior: http...

Looking at the Arena debug log, it appears to load the book successfully, printing out the message: Successfully loaded opening book file (LittleThought.book) but it never actually plays any opening moves.

I would venture to say that illegal cloning of copyrighted material is a much greater wrong than giving an original engine a name with a swear word in it. I'm a big boy, I don't let names hurt me.

.........who are too ashamed to put their names to them for obvious reasons. Ashamed? Really? I was under the impression that a certain group of programmers cloned their own engines and assigned them these silly names as a form of protest against widespread cloning and the damage that it has done t...

Hi Tano-Urayoan, Eelco provided an archived link for Wilhelm. I also stumbled across what seems to be a new home page for Wilhelm: http://home.datacomm.ch/kruandr/index_english.htm The old Alex Winboard Tournament manager page is here: http://usuarios.lycos.es/alexwbtm/English/Home.htm but unfortuna...
