Is this about the Frank Zibi's Zchess, or is this about the new Zephyr Chess program?

Yes, it is. This is the file structure for Zchess of Frank Zibi.
I also think that Frank Kisinsky is working on this Configuration Files for ChessVision1.2 and he is next to publish the ChessVision Configuration Files.
I tested Zchess under ChessVision 1.2 and you can see my Test Results in the Posted Message called "Zchess Compatibility Test".
I had to do many tests with the File Estructure, because ChessVision has a very poor documentation about structuring this .ini Files. This is my paticular opinion about this.
Best Regards, A8A

Sorry the HTML-interpreter is pretty stupid and I cannot change it. Every "less than" and "greater than" are interpreted as the beginning or the end of an HTML-tag. This is important for posting winboard-debug files also. I suggest the replace all this > and < stuff by something else (e.g. "_").

Hola Arturo,
Muchas gracias por la información de ZChess.
I have tried it under CV and it worked. There are small problems though:
1. ZChess always moves immediately.
2. Depth, score etc. is not displayed.
Is it the same with you?
Saludos
Gabor

I don't have this problem.
Hint Move, Score, Depth are displayed in my Computer.
No, it isn't.
