I'm using Gnuchess version 4.0 on a DEC Alpha running OSF/1 (I built GnuChess on this system), and was wondering if there was a change of level bug? I ask this because no matter what I set the level to, the program seems to play just as strongly. I used the level command within Gnuchess and then set the time increment to many different settings, including 0, 1, 1:0, etc... I checked on the help screen and saw that Level was set to 0, and I also set easy to ON and even random to ON along with a search depth of 1, and it still does not seem to play any easier! I did in fact read the documentation, but unfortunately I found it to be of little help. It is very badly written and I just ended up getting confused (the only documentation available was a man page). So is this a bug, or is there a different way I should set the playing level? If this is a bug is there a patch or alternate Gnuchess version I can download? My email address is bogus, so please post any answers in this group (it may also prove helpfull for others new to Gnuchess). Thanks in advance for any advice.
