When the 2nd game begins, the board is only drawn after white's first move. This is particularly ugly, if the white engine doesn't use a book and has to think on its 1st move. Then you can see the clocks and thinking output already from game 2, but still see the old end position until white moves. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27889> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-XBoard mailing list Bug-XBoard@... http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-xboard

Is this with today's new 4.4.1 release or something older? (I'm not saying it's fixed in 4.4.1 -- haven't tried to reproduce it as yet.) _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27889> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-XBoard mailing list Bug-XBoard@... http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-xboard

It is more interesting to look at the final position of the previous game, than to the initial position (which you probably know...). _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27889> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-XBoard mailing list Bug-XBoard@... http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-xboard

The pause between games can be very short when you use engines that support ping, and the last moves of a game are usually instantaneous as well. So intended or not, I will leave it like it is. H.G.

Even with my fix the end position is visible for 10 seconds. It just doesn't extend into the next game anymore. However, thanks for repairing the other about 15 points I reported in the last month. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27889> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-XBoard mailing list Bug-XBoard@... http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-xboard

I usually set the pause to the shortest possible value 10 (msec) when both engines support ping. The pause is only needed to make sure the engine that is thinking gets the time to make its move when the opponent resigns. Because otherwise that move might come in after the next game has started, where it is illegal, or will lead to a later move being illegal. When the engine supports ping you don't hae that problem.
