When running testsuite under Fritz 12 GUI Tornado crashes always after some 5 positions, same problem with previous versions too! But EnginMax don't have that problem.

There is mystery in UCI parameters under Fritz GUI: ponder and Chess960 flags are totally missing, but I see them under Arena! Probably this is reason to crash?

yes, you can't see the option of ponder and Chess960 on FritzGUI and Shredder Classic, because the GUI didn't display that with UCI2 protocol, evan some other options like UCI_ * , the GUI manage that by self anywhere other functions.

that is why i disable UCI_LimitStrength from the options, i want to make matches with different strength, now with the Option PlayLevel i can make different configrated options. And it is very difficult to find the right ELO settings with the engine, the engine changed every version and i dont have some other engine to compare the strength.
