Hey guys,
Just a quick question or two.
Whats the best version of Arena to use?
I noticed that despite there being a 3.5.1 version, some of you still use 3.0.
I am having issues (a bug?) in engine tournaments where only one engine's logo shows up in the clock area...
Is this related or does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks you in advance friends.
Brendan

Re: Best Arena Version
I rather recommend Chessbase GUIs like Fritz or for instance brand new Komodo 10 gui. The reason is they are more reliable and generally updated frequently to fix bugs.
Arena is somewhat buggy and troublesome, but still working for most users.

Re: Best Arena Version
The logo bug happens when the openings are from a PGN file, right? That bug is in 3.0, also. If the engines use an .abk book or .epd file, both logos are shown.BrendanJNorman wrote:Hey guys,

Yes indeed. Just checked and you're right. Very interesting. Logos working with an .abk book.rcmaddox wrote:The logo bug happens when the openings are from a PGN file, right? That bug is in 3.0, also. If the engines use an .abk book or .epd file, both logos are shown.BrendanJNorman wrote:Hey guys,

Re: Best Arena Version
I should have added that both logos appear when engines use their own books, as, for example, with Crafty (.bin), HIARCS (.hcs), Shredder (.bkt), etc. It's only when a PGN file is used that only one logo is shown.
I've always assumed it's a known bug, but maybe I'm wrong about that.

Re: Best Arena Version
I was told (and I do not remember who told me) that some Arena versions above 3.0 have problems with pondering. I do not know if this is true, but if anyone has more detailed information, let me know. Komodo buyers ask whihc version to use and I have been telling them 3.0, but it would be nice to recommend a newer version.
