Flag doesnt always work! Bug?

[g00dtr]

some engines not work flag

[dene]

Rybka 2.3.2a doesnt seem to work with Flag ..I play ozzie and he runs out of time first but continues playing ( I cant flag him), then he auto flags me when I run out of time, clearly time cheating a win!!! This is not good or fairplay

[chesslover89]

Uncheck the auto flag option from winboard and try flagging ozzie manually ...
i dont think flagging is engine specific..... works 100% fine with my yay.pl ... or u can copy the flag code from old ytoics.pl and paste in yay.pl...

You got me thinking there. Instead of coping the Flag code from ytoics though, what Ive done is edited the old ytoics pl file adding the captcha loggin from yay to that, ..now my old ytoics 0.0.4 pl works again on yahoo ..niiice!

in order to do all that stuff, which commands should i add? and which additional programs or scripts do i need? can you upload them here or give a link to download?

[chesslover89]

Yes dene ...actually all
thats missing in ytoics.pl is that captcha stuff..

so Keep flaging


@ chess

Excellent tutorial provided by the parent site for autoplay on yahoo.
All you need is winboard(free ),gui(fritz,shredder etc) and yay(provided by forum) ....

for autoflag:

Winboard--->options/general/check autoflag.
for manual flaging------>type "flag" when opponent is out of time in yay display.

[chess]

Code: Select all

sub ics_flag {
   unless (defined($primary)) {
      iprint "You are not playing a game.\n";
      prompt;
      return;
   }
   my $t=$tables[$primary];
   if (($t->[3] != $pme and $t->[4] != $pme)
   or   $t->[10]) {
      iprint "You are not playing a game.\n";
      prompt;
      return;
   }
   my $opp = int($t->[3] == $pme);
   if (&top_timeleft($t, $opp) > 0) {
      iprint "Your opponent is not out of time.\n";
   } else {
      iprint "Flagging...\n";
      nprinttop($t,0x49,chr($opp));
   }
   prompt;
   return;
}

@lover this code add yay file but oppnent time not finish

[dene]

Try checking autoflag in winboard, see if that works????

[chesslover89]

Okay now ..another problem...

People try to disconnect opponent with other means...titan_chess (yahoo id) is one among them....any ideas?
you are playing a game and all of a sudden they will kill your yay connection....

[g00dtr]

yep, there are some bugs in Yay; therefore, some people might get disconnected, sometimes.

Also, here you can download free engines, which can even reach approxiametly 2800 elo and above.

You can load all those engines into your playing software, as you know softwares such as Fritz, Shredder are the ones that we can load engines into.

On the other hand, you will have to load an openning book into it, as well. It can play without a book, too; however, you will be stronger and better off with one.

If you don't know how to do or experience any problem with all that stuff, you can simply tell us, we'll help you
