Hi Gerold

Hope you get it on Arena ok(you have to select 'tournament' 'Start/Quit' tab and the 'restart engine after each game',then it dosnt make illeagle moves!

its the interfacing with winboard where my illeagle moves came from, my fault there, im missing the commands its a problem I intend to get to.

its at beta 5 now get the latest version.

Hi Gerold, thanks for testing it out, and the welcome.

Now works well on Arena as a Winboard Engine, without the need to check the re-start engine each game setting(hope that helps you Gerold), finaly found the flag settings for a new game. only games from a fresh board work, you cannot start a game mid way, you have to play from new game, another flag I need to find, the problem is I did it all in binary because I thought it would be better, finding all the settings is a pain, sounds easy but Ill get there

The winboard only works for first game you play white, its a communication issue(errors after first game) so cant say it works in Winboard.

OK!

+! Winboard and Arena Are both unified and working, the Engine is now properly terminated() so no phantom processes-

So now I can work on my evaluator for a better Engine Chalenge

Only one point The Engine Always has to work from a new board no swithching sides mid game sorry maybe a later update.

Ive been updateing the Evaluator all day , does this version seem smarter to anyone? It seems to play very differently maybe Ill pit the old Engine against it!
