Some time ago, YaY implemented a feature called autoautostart and what it does is that requests a start as soon as the game ends. Because chessbase users go thru an extra adaptor to reach the engine, sometimes the engine is not initialized after the game begins. This is a problem that we had never been able to pin-point, and probably never will because this problem does not happen in polyglot and we, the YaY developers, only use polyglot.
Now, the problem mentioned above it does not happen all the time, and most important, it nevers gives the "invalid move" error. So I insist, you are doing something wrong. Try one more time, redo everything, read instructions carefully. If you still having problems, I might be able to help you thru Windows Messenger Remote Assistance, usually I never offer this kind of help because I want users to try real hard first. If this is what you want to do, PM me your Windows Messenger ID.
Cheers,
Using engines to cheat:
- It is not ethical,
- It is useless, nothing is gained (how can one be proud of a score earn with dishonesty?)
- You will be baned, sooner or later,
- It gives us (the true chess engine players) a bad reputation.
