Hi,

Alex, TMHO it looks like the timing provided in the plugins sometimes can't fit the way you run the engines. "Timing" means either the duration of key/square push, or the wait commands that are intentionally coded.
The "way you run the engines" relates to your host ability to provide enough resources and focus to run smoothly the emulation, or to whatever event can disturb.
Until few months ago I used a 12 years old laptop, featuring only two cores. To include the chess computer plugins in Arena tournaments I had to increase some (if not many) timings for some computers (even if most ran natively smoothly).
At some point I got bored with updating the plugins, I changed once for all the init.lua plugin located in CB-Emu\MessChess\plugins\chessengine.
Main change was from:
to:
Other durations based on the "seconds" variable were increased this way (sample function): from
to:
and finally, for hard-coded durations, I replaced all 0.09 values by 0.1, such as from:
to:
Of course the run of tournaments is slightly slowed down, at the benefit of more secure running. I suggest you give this a try, and check the result.

Hope this helps,
Eric

Thanks, I'll give it a try. But as I wrote in the other posting: Usually all plugins work well with my conditions, I always try the original speed before reporting a bug. I never had any problems that was related to the speed of the emulation.
