Problem with 'Set up Position'

Postby AMOD » 23 Oct 2008, 20:23

Hello,
I need your help.

When trying to set up position on Winboard 5.07 after I have finished setting up the pieces and select "Machine Black" I get error "Its not Blacks turn" !
Its the same with colours reversed.
Am I doing something wrong? What do I need to do?
Pls help
regards
Amod

Read the fine manual.

You can set the side to play next by clicking on the word White or Black at the top of the screen.
