Thanks!

Thanks for the report!

Yes, Dan ARENA uses Wb2Uci as well.

Just to be sure I copied your Wb2Uci.eng. But with no success.

For me the strange thing is that all Exchesses work fine on my PC. But not the last 2. It is puzzling me.
Not being an expert on winboard, nevertheless I succeeded to get hundreds of winboard programs playing with CB GUI. Wildcat, Scorpio, Chessmaster and so on.

I have tested the supplied Windows versions without problems.
The 32bit version works ok including tablebases on an old AMD 1.8GHz Duron in Arena on Windows XP, and also on an old 2.9GHz Pentium 4 in Arena on linux Mint 17 32bit using wine.
The 64bit version worked ok including tablebases with an AMD Athlon 7550 cpu in Arena using Windows 10, and also on an AMD A4-5300 cpu in Arena on linux Mint 17 64bit using wine.

I also successfully compiled 32 and 64 bit native linux executables with tablebase support ok.
(I eventually found some tbindex and tbdecode source code files dating from 2003 that were in an old Scid src folder and they worked ok)
The 32bit compiled ok on the above Pentium 4 computer and the 64 bit was made on the AMD one.

Thanks Dan
I look forward to playing some matches with this new version.

I deleted the search.par file, which I modified before, and now it runs under Arena.

Did so as well. Now it runs under CB GUI, but only on 1 CPu with 1 MB for hash.

Good to hear, Thanks!

OK, that makes sense. Thanks for thinking to try this!

That is good to hear. Now that I think about it, the search.par file has been modified occasionally from one version to the next, and I suppose there could be an incompatibility between an older search.par and a newer EXchess. If you use the search.par that was included with the latest version, that should solve the problem, I hope. Thanks for letting me know!
