Pharaon 3.2 strange behaviour at Arena 1.1.

[Anonymous]

Pharaon 3.2 installed as a Winboard-engine at Arena 1.1 has a very strange behaviour. When i press the "GO" button for playing Pharaon the first move, Pharaon starts to play for both sides until the end.....When i play the first move then at most of cases game runs correctly. BUT there are cases here also that from the second move it continues the game itself..........

When i change its settings to be an UCI-engine everything is OK.

Do i have to add any command for having it as a Winboard engine?

Hello George,

No command line instructions are needed for Pharaon.

Should you be having issues with arena I suggest that you contact them using their contact forms, they appreciate the feedback from their users.

Thanks.

Later.

Well trying Winboard(old) it works. As an UCI works too as i've said.
Only as a Winboard it doesn't........?!?!?

So i would just have it as an UCI. To test it will work fine, can anyone please test the following position with Pharaon 3.2 for me.......?
