Has anyone else tried playing Xboard/Gnuchess at G/1 (that's one MINUTE)? I had tried this with earlier versions of Gnuchess, but the program always lost on time if I just moved fast enough. With my current version (Gnuchess 4.0pl61, Xboard 2.1pl9) I can't move fast enough to avoid losing on time by move 30 even though I sometimes manage a winning position. I went about 0-30 against the computer like this until I discovered the winning move 1. h4!!! The computer chews on this one until its flag falls. I am now 100-30 against the computer, and I plan on spending the weekend improving this further still. And who says playing blitz doesn't help ones game... ;-) john// jrb@ingres.com P.S. Gnuchess also hangs after 1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 g6 4. f4 Bg7 5. Bc4
