Winboard Forum

Hello programmers

I feel like I sound like a complete newbie posting my problem.
Please don't laugh! I am as green as grass.
My chess program can play black and white when I hit the "Mode machine white" and "mode machine white".
But in "two machines mode" it goes wrong.

My question is:
what are the exact line of commands winboard gives to both copies of my engine?

Thanks!

Run Winboard with the /debug option to see all of the information sent to and received from the engines.

Note that for Two Engines mode, you must specify two engines (fcp/ and /scp), and they are typically different .exe files I doubt that too many engines would work as both, (certainly not with pondering), since Winboard generally sends moves, not board positions. time and otim would also be a issue, etc.

Also, make sure you have looked at the engineinterface documentation file.

Ahh, lets just call my earlier comment (about same engine for both sides) yet another in an increasingly frequent series of senior moments...

I know how it feels
