Tiny cosmetic error: which clock is ticking?

Postby Ron Murawski » 07 Jan 2009, 23:48

Hi HG,

I was playing my engine against King of Kings and noticed something peculiar:
King of Kings, when 'Show Thinking' is specified, does not send its thinking
until *after* it has decided on its move. Although you cannot see its thinking
in real time you can always look at the full pv history after it makes its
move. I don't know if this engine behavior is correct, but that is the way
King of Kings handles the 'Show Thinking' option.

What has this to do with Winboard? There is a tiny cosmetic error that
results. The time clock image in the engine output window is always shown
against my engine. It *appears* that my engine is using all the time, but
Winboard decrements the appropriate side's time correctly. It is only the
display of the clock image that is inappropriate.

I don't expect this very minor error to go to the top of your to-do list; I
just thought is was interesting.

Hi Rog,

I decided not to respond to your post in the Winboard bugfixing forum (off-topic, right! :-) I don't want any moderators mad at me! ;-) )

Look in your pm box.
