Thanks, for posting all your result. Actually, I was happy to see that
Yace played stronger with white. I susoected that there was a bug, and
Yace would play better with black. This was indicated by quite a few
games I got sent and also by my own testing.
My comment would be, Yace has a large "luck factor". I have got clear
wins against Crafty at short and long time controls. The next match
just ends as clear the other way around. I think, this is because
Yace doesn't understand pawn structures etc., but it understands
quite a bit of attacking. Sometimes this works well, and sometimes
not.
BTW. You might have seen, that the Version 0.21 has your requested
features. Please note, that there is a bug while pondering, when not
using the winboard interface. You cannot input a move like Nf3, you
have to write g1f3 (without the "N", e4 for e2e4 works though).
Regards,
Dieter

Hello Dieter,
A little error is in my test : the game EXchess/Yace was 1-0 ...
So, the difference between White and Black is bigger !
