Does anybody else have the same issue?

In Arena, at a 40/5 time control, it typically takes 3-5 seconds a move for me. Not instant, but a bit too fast for the given time control.

Hmm - perhaps it just doesn't like ChessGUI.

Yes, me. Don't remember the GUI. I deleted it from my computer immediately, maybe a bit hastily.
Glad I'm not the only one.

However, as I use ChessGUI for most of my testing, that rules Laser 0.1 out.

Using non-periodic TC like 180s + 100ms inc, it will work in ChessGUI.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for making me aware of this.

A new version (0.2) has been released that hopefully contains a patch for the problem (I wasn't able to reproduce it in ChessGUI so I have no way of being sure...)

I'll try it as soon as I get home from work. :)
Would have let you know about this problem, but I didn't have any way of contacting you.

Sounds good! I'll try to check in with this forum time to time.

It also appears that Laser 0.2 has a fair number of connection stalls, so I'll be trying to fix that and upload a new version over the next week or two.
