I'm setting up Winboard with various engines, besides GNUChess and Crafty. Already, there are errors with the first engine, Anmon 5.51. Please help!

An excerpt of the Anmon.Log file is:

Add 0 learn

Error (Unknown command) uci
Error (Unknown command) setoption name Hash value 1

}



So, what gives.

I'd like to start off with no errors. Where do the commands random, uci, setoption name Hash value 1, and isready come from? Is it a simple matter to just delete them?

TIA,
Dan

Hello Dan,

The error commands you mention are from the uci protocol.
You must be using Anmon 5.50 (uci version). with is incompatible with
Winboard unless you use a 'uci to wb' adapter (Polyglot).
Download the 5.51 winboard version instead.

Jim.
