UCCI engine communication question

Post by fire_varan »

Hi everyone.

The question is:

If I communicate with any UCCI engine I have (other than UFX) everything is OK

But in case of UFX engine, it tends to play on the same side as I.

But, if I connect UFX engine to WinBoard, everything is working just fine.
I have examined UCCI2WB code in order to determine what been sent to the stdin of engine, but did not find anything special.
Does anyone have a clue what I am missing?

Engines are here in case anyone needs them

Found out that it works ok if using position fen <fenstring> moves ... instead of position startpos moves ...
