Compliments to HGM It's Winboard GUI.

When using Winboard + PolyGlot, there are two methods to create files for an engine:

Method #1
You can create a .INI file for each engine. The .INI file contains an engine's specific UCI engine-options. All engine options are visible and saved in this type of .INI format.

Method #2
You can use the fUCI / sUCI commands for each engine. The difference being, the fUCI / sUCI commands requires you point to the executive engine file directly and can be used to create a .INI file appropriate for the sUCI / sUCI format. However, NOT all engine options are visible in the .INI of its format.

I've attached engine-setting for each methods, as described. But currently, and for the record, I'm using the fUCI / sUCI .INI Method for engine setting and for engine-engine matches.

Yep

That shouldn't be. The only difference is, I was viewing the game from Black's side. From Winboard's Menu: View\ Flip View

to flips the view from White to Black. Also when I used Snipping Tools, that may have added the "inverted squares" you're getting...? Or try the second PGN I uploaded.

Looks correct to me. a1-h8 is black.

Yes, this is correct. I was viewing the game from Black's Side.

Hmm. This shouldn't be. I played numerous games before experiencing that particular crash. The colours were fine (not inverted). I'm not sure if my viewing the game from Black's Side and/or taking a snap picture using Snipping Tools has any thing to do with it. Strange though.

Prima, I came across the following : http://ippolit.wikispaces.com/message/v ... 0#41239231. I will try to apply the patch and release a new build. Thanks again for the heads up.

Oh, no problem Kingliveson. I like IvanHoe. And thanks for your time and consideration.

Just one favour, is it possible for you to apply the patch to the (1) IvanHoe 0B.01.10 x64 style (probably a renamed version) AND (2) for the regular IvanHoe 9.47b Analysis & GamePlay mode? Thanks in advance.

Here are your board and my board side by side:



As you can see, both are looking from black's perspective (the coordinates match) and the left one above has the square colors wrong.

If flipping the board messes up the board colors, it seems like a Winboard bug (i.e. in the starting position it would show the queens on the wrong color).
