Just remember to disable the log after you find the problem. You don't want your computer wasting time writting a text file while playing fast games.

please, can someone tell me how to answer this message that evry so often pops up by my yay flash ,chessbase option , when i click on load selected shortcut:
"You specified a room that was not found in the control tower.
YaY will try to connect to this room with the standard parameters.Since YaY does not know the name of this room, "Unknown" will be used" ( although the room is very specified ;and the access to the room is not given ofcourse). notice that in polyglot option , yay never gives this message and the access to the room is always done.
thanks a lot in advance for any answer. !

What is the name of the room, and the room code?

Are you sure this happens only when using chessbase?

yes i'm sure matematiko, it happens only when i use chessbase. it happens also for both rooms i use, advanced lounge 3 and advanced lounge 2 ,which codes are respectively chess_adv_c and chess_adv_b . sometimes it works but often it doesn't, as i said. with polyglot it works perfectly.
thanks a lot for your help matematiko! have a nice day. .

Hello,

Firstly I would like to say that I have only discovered YaY very recently and would like everyone involved who have created this great tool to test engines and opening books. I am currently having some small issues with YaY and was wondering is someone could please help me.

The first problem I am having is that when I set up a table on Yahoo with time settings 1 minuite + 2 seconds increment and I set up the same on my Fritz 11 GUI I seem to be running out of time on Yahoo. The time settings above are just an example, I seem to run out of time on Yahoo everytime I use an increment setting. Can someone tell me how I need to set this up so that I don't run out of time.

The second problem I am having is I have selected "auto flag" on Winboard but for some reason flagging is not working. Even if I manually select flag it doesn't work. Again can someone help me out.

I am using YaY Ultimate 3 flash Edition.

It would be very much appreciated if someone could answer these questions for me, thank you.

Kind regards,

Robert.

Hi Robert and welcome to autochess.com. About timer using Fritz + Yahoo it goes different from PCC for example. To not run out of time is good use a diff setting from Yahoo in your Fritz. Ex: Wanna play 2/0 in Yahoo? Then set your Fritz 3/0 or you will run out of time always. Wanna play 2/2 in Yahoo? Then set your Fritz 2/1.

About the flag issue, it is something that happens to me too. What I know it is commom to happen when we play. But one observation is: With the new YaY Flash it is happening often than normal vs many slow opponents. No matter how many times I type flag manually, my opponent is able to keep moving in timer 0:00. Able to make even 20-25 moves in 0:00. I also made it 3x when I played vs some opponents.

Timer goes like that: 0:00 - 0:0* - 0:0/ and never ends. Even if 20s 30s pass after 0:00

ps Maybe autochess programmers in some place in this world can build some kind of anti-flag for all and make us able to keep moving in timer 0:00 no matter what. Just an idea and my imagination to play 1/0.

Whenever I click on yay ultimate 3 and put in all the information etc, I get through the first couple screens fine -- name and password, country, chess room, but then my cmd screen closes and never prompts for the 4 letter code. Why is it doing this? My cmd screen closes too early so I can't get the error message.

I know how to work Yay as I've used the older versions before but I can never get to the step where I open polyglot.

Also, I tried using chessbase but when it says waiting connection I can never find the .pl file to click on like the tutorial says? Perhaps you can clarify this more?

Thanks,
Robert

When it says Waiting for connection you need to go to your Fritz Options and choose Tools >>> Connect hardware. A small window will pop-up and then quickly choose the correct winboard shotcut called "Winboard with Chessbase" in your desktop.

PS The YaY Flash you dont need to type the 4 letters code.

I tried every variation of what you just said but after I open winboard with chessbase I get a message that says "Could not connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 6000: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it."

Here are the steps I do:

1. Open Fritz tool >> connect hardware >> select auto 232 1.0 and check server name box but leave it blank and check auto play
2. Screen comes up that says waiting for connection
3. I click on yay ultimate 3 shortcut >> choose winboard with chessbase option >> put in password etc >> US >> advance lounge then it comes to screen that says your captcha screen should be up etc...
4. I click continue then click on winboard with chessbase and I receive the error i said above.

Is there an error in my process?

No captcha in new YaY. Use new YaY Flash Edition.

Have a look at this thread, it sounds like the same sort of problem: ordinal-3212-error-t811.html


One user states that he fixed this problem by renaming this file LIBEAY32.DLL which is located in c:\windows\system32 as LIBEAY32.bak.

Cheers

Heh, that wasn't the answer but the thread you linked me to it allowed me to track it down and brought to my attention that ssleay32.dll was also involved. Which I think was my whole problem as I've removed the libeay32.dll file before. On my other computer, the program worked fine. And I couldn't figure it out because libeay32 wasn't in the system32 but was in a user temp folder (neither was ssleay32.dll for that matter i later found out). I was going nuts dragging the file from computer to computer and wondering why it wasn't working except changing the faulting ordinal number. Oddly enough all these libeay32 files were different sizes. Then it finally clicked when i saw that thread. So I just delete that and ssleay32.dll. Turning them to .bak files would be essentially doing the same thing. Thanks a lot!
