Engine that put a lot of info can make live hard for tlcs.
But it is not only the engines that output a lot of "junk".
At the end of each game everybody would get disconnected from my broadcast.
Checking the debug i found this:

Code: Select all

GameEnds(37, Draw by repetition, 6)
GameEnds(37, Draw by repetition, 6) clock stopped
GameEnds(37, Draw by repetition, 6) test claims

What is this "times" stuff and is it neccesary to put it in the debug,
as it is killing tlcs?

OK, I will take it out. It is debug output from the writing of the PGN, in connection with the extended PGN info.

OK, the alpha.tst (4.3.15k) on my website should have the printing of the "times =" messages disabled (untested).
