The same problem:

I made another update after 18.8.6. I cant see the images.
What is the time control. I've tested 30+0,2, 15 minutes for 40 moves and 5 minutes for 40 moves.

Edit:
Here is the game with SpaceDog 30+0,2 Time control.

End of the game Ruth has 6 seconds SpaceDog has 5 seconds.
Are you perhaps starting too many games with the same engine at the same time, Sylwy? I was experienced same issue with Stockfish when I started too many games at the same times. Thanks you for your feedback

[Sylwy]

TC=4'+2" is my single test time.
It was the only process on the PC at that time. The problem occurs with all versions so far. I have over 2000 engines on my PC. I have no unresolved problems with them. There is a time management glitch or something is blocking the engine from sending the move. You also have a Debug Engine file from Arena GUI. The engine calculated, calculated, calculated.....for over 3 minutes (see image-zoom) then the engine stopped, the hash was zeroed. What prevented the engine from sending the move to the GUI in a timely manner?



I wait for a more stable version.

This might be a system incompatibility. Or Arena Chess GUI may be taking a different approach. I’m downloading and testing it right away. I’ll get back with a stable version within a few hours.
Edit: Is the version Arena 3.5 right?

[Sylwy]

Is the version Arena 3.5 right?

3.5.1 http://www.playwitharena.de/downloads/arena_3.5.1.zip
I have all kinds of GUIs: Fritz 20-Deep Shredder 13-HiarcsChessPro...........Arena is the best in my oppinion for tournaments/matches-incorporates both UCI & WB protocol !

Hi Sylwy. I made some updates and release a new version. I hope its works.

Hi Sylwy. I made some updates and release a new version. I hope its works.

Congratulations? Is it private? The repo has the same version as yesterday!

Nope. Maybe a connection error. Here is the link: https://github.com/themreKalkan/RuthIro ... s/tag/18.9
