Hello there, I've been having a lot of trouble with Gnuchess-4.0.pl74. I run Xboard as an interface to Gnuchessx and it crashes when it 's played for about 30 moves even though It played very well. I then posted a message here to search for answers. Tim Mann suggested that because of the gnuchess.hash file, but there was no such file!. Then I got a suggestion from Kongsian(one of gnuchess programmers). He said that there is a bug in the internal transposition table(the -Dttblsz compile option). So I got the latest update of GNuchess-4.0.pl74 and compiled it with with -Dttblsz=0, but it would not compile the search.c file even though other files were OK!Then I switched to the option that turned off the transposition file by using -initString "new\\n...hash\\n" command line option. The surprising thing is that gnuchessx will play and never crashes(0%) on games that are less than 50 moves!!! However, for games that are more than 50 moves, it will ALWAYS(100%) crashes!!! So I'm stuck right now. Anyone who has any idea what the problem might be, Please reply. Any response is greatly appreciated. Thanks. P.S.: By the way, if anyone knows how to start up gnuchessx using WinBoard, please tell me. I know that there are help files(I read Winboard.hlp already). However, it seems that I can't figure out the right command-line otions to do it(I'm using Windows NT Workstation).I got error messages like 'permission denied' or 'cannot find gnuchessx'
