If those boxes are checked, and you are encountering this issue then it may be a bug related to HOW you use GNUBG. It may be related to this bug: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?35179 . It appears if you analyse each game after you complete them, and you do so just before the crawford game, GNUGB loses track of the fact that it was a crawford game coming up. My first question is. After you complete a game (inside a match) do you analyse the game and then continue to the next game? I'd like to know if you are doing that (then your bug may not be unique). If you are doing this I'm wondering what would happen if you played entire matches and then analysed the whole thing at the end? Does the problem go away? One last question I have. If you go to "Settings"/"Options"/"Game" tab, can you tell me if you have each of these on or off? "Start new games immediately" "Roll the dice Automatically" "Play forced move automatically" "Play bearoff moves automatically" If you have "Start new games immediately" OFF I'd be curious to know if your problems go away after turning it "ON". This request id a shot in the dark. I'll probably have to put this Crawford bug that is already in bug tracker at a higher priority. At this point I'm trying to discover if you have a different problem or the same problem as the others. Thanks, -- Michael Petch CApp::Sysware Consulting Ltd.
