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).

Yes, I see it now. I think it's a Winboard bug. Even more embarrassing is, I didn't notice this colour-mixup. I spent ample time trying to pinpoint the problem and even though its fixed, I'm not sure which is the culprit:
1. Ether it's a Winboard bug, or
2. Bitmap name-mixup (for White/Black), in this case Alessandro Scotti's bitmap: "Dave_lite/Dave_dark.bmp". Or
3. Corrupted Bitmap.

With #2 and #3, I noticed the Dark coloured squares where placed for White coloured squares and vice versa. So I rearranged the colours but the inverted square-colours persisted. The inverted colours also persisted with other bitmaps. I've done this for a long time and never seen anything like this. So I had to use a fresh bitmap and after more trials and error, the square colours are corrected.

Thanks Uly / Jeremy for bringing this inverted colour to notice. Thanks Kingliveson for your upcoming patched version of IvanHoe engines. Look forward to it.

No reason to feel that way, I also missed it the first time around, kingliveson missed it, Jeremy missed it, it was only when having both boards side by side that I noticed.

Anyway, I'm glad a bug could be squashed.

Yet another IvanHoe crash. This time it's IvanHoe 999947c GH x64 compile. Sorry, no log file was saved as I didn't expect the crash but attached is the game:

I'm sure now that there's some bug in IvanHoe 999947's code.

Prima, I have already applied the patch and will note once it is uploaded.

Edit:

Ok, here's a patched build. Will make the Linux and the rest of the 32-bits later...file attached

Much appreciated, Kingliveson, Thank you.

Can the same patch be done for the "Analysis" mode ? Thanks in advance.

Kingliveson,

You have been busy with the rating list simulator. Any possibility that we will get compiles for the patched IvanHoe for Analysis Mode x64 and for the w32 versions?

Just reminding Thanks.

Prima, I'll make sure they are out no later than tomorrow, since you haven't reported similar issue with the one uploaded. Sorry for the delay...



edit: can you please pm your email?

Thanks Kingliveson. Check your pm.

Ok, Windows builds emailed.

Once the Linux builds are done, everything will be uploaded later today.
