Hi I'm having trouble playing black against crafty/xboard . I've downlaoded the latest (beta) version of xboard from Tim Mann's web page, plus the latest xboard-supported version of crafty (11.3). Both compile cleanly on my Digital Unix 4.0 running alpha workstation. Starting with xboard -initString "" -debug -fcp "crafty xboard" and choosing "Machine White" causes crafty to play it's opening move (d4). Then when I reply (d5 say) I get an error, the log is given below. I don't think I've done anything stupid!
