Of course, but why?
It works not maybe ?
Crux 05.0g has play in Leiden, but the WB version not supported
the 'pondering' mode.

Yes, that's the problem. On my machines I could hardly finish a game with Crux. It crashes too often. To tell the truth, I wanted to check whether it is worth downloading.
But you must know that, I (and others too) have already reported it several times. The latest version I used (05.0f) also crashed in almost every game.

Hi Laszlo, do you ever play matches with the /mg command under Winboard.
Please try to play a 8 games match with "/mg 8" and tell then or it
crashed on your computer(s) or not.(you know it crashed by me)

Hi Leo
my environments are:
win95OSR2 192 MB RAM, Celeron, winboard 4.2.3
win2000prof 128 MB RAM, Celeron,winboard 4.2.3
win98 64 MB RAM, Celeron, winboard 4.2.3

and example:
winboard.exe /fcp="Crux -xboard" /fd="C:\admin\wb\crux\" /scp="sjeng" /sd="C:\admin\wb\sjeng\" /mg 10 /tc 5 /inc 0 /debug /sgf probe.pgn

and with these lines Crux 05.0g works fine...

I may be wrong but I suspect Crux is more inclined to crash when its opening book is turned on. Even without an outside book. I suggest taking away the built-in book from the program. You can use an outside book so you don't need it anyway, and it may be responsible for the crashings.

Crux still crashes for me a lot, and I would love to have it play reliably.
How do I play Crux with an outside book through Winboard?
