Winboard Forum

Hello,
I use Winboard 4.2.7 and Spike 1.1 as a computer account on a chess server. Spike always kibitzes the score, PV etc to the opponent and watchers.
This annoying for the opponent, so How can I prevent it to kibitz ?
Thanks.

There are a couple things you can try. Do "set allowkib 0", which should convert all kibs to whispers. You could also do "+alias kibitz blah" which should turn your kibs into something not recognized by ICC.

Hi,

Spike is only kibitzing when using the wb protocol, so another solution may be to use Spike as UCI engine with Polyglot.

I've never tested it, but I think in Polyglot you can configure many things like, for example, the kibitzing output

Thanks Ralf. As Spike is also a UCI engine, I run it with ChessPartner GUI, no need to use polyglot which is in fact a UCI2WB adaptator.
