Hi,
a new release of my WinBoard Engine (0.61) is available.
Several improvements to the evaluation function have been made, and more important some severe bugs are fixed (time control, promotion, ...).
It will be available within the next days at this page or at
http://www.in-trier.de/~quisinsky/
Have fun.

Good news! I have played a 10 ganes match with Zephyr and Gelem over night (game/3600). Unfortunately the previous version lost _all_ games on time .
Example:
[Event "Computer chess game"]
[Site "VPITTLIK_PIII450"]
[Date "2000.06.07"]
[Round "1"]
[White "Golem_01"]
[Black "Zephyr_05"]
[Result "1-0"]
[TimeControl "3600"]
1. d4 e6 2. Be3 d5 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Qd2 Bb4 5. a3 Bxc3 6. Qxc3 O-O 7. f3 Nc6
8. b4 Bd7 9. g4 a5 10. bxa5 Nxa5 11. Bf4 Nc6 12. e3 Ne8 13. h4 f5 14. gxf5
Rxf5 15. Bg5 Qc8 16. Bd3 Rf8 17. O-O-O Nd6 18. Bf4 Ra5 19. Ne2 Qa8 20. Kb2
Rf6 21. Rd2 Qf8 22. Kc1 Nb5 23. Qb3 Rxa3 24. Qb2 Na5 25. Bxb5 Bxb5 26. Bg5
Rxf3 27. Nf4 Nc4 28. Nxe6
{White wins on time} 1-0
[Event "Computer chess game"]
[Site "VPITTLIK_PIII450"]
[Date "2000.06.07"]
[Round "2"]
[White "Zephyr_05"]
[Black "Golem_01"]
[Result "0-1"]
[TimeControl "3600"]
1. Bf8xa8 Nf6 2. c4 O-O
{Black wins on time} 0-1

It don't understand the second game at all. BTW: all other games are similar and are not useable for Dann's calibration run.

Addition: all games were identical...

I'm using Crux, Faile, Inmichess and some other programs for test matches. The error described by you does not appear with these engines ?! Thanks for the hint, I'll try Golem too.
