Hmm.... Under Linux this engine seems buggy all round. The latest version http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5047625/tscp-181e-ja.zip doesn't work in analysis mode or tournament. I havent tested it with windows. Typing "help" when running Toms Chess Engine shows a help line, and it seems to support the non-standard xboard commands "on" and "off", and while it says it supports "setboard" this feature seems buggy. If i disable setboard by commenting out this line in scid.gui # if {[string match "*setboard=1*" $line]} { set analysis(has_setboard$n) 1 } then it will play a game or two with per-move time controls, but often hangs too. Anyway, to see what the engine is doing, have a look in the "Scid-vs-PC/bin/log" directory for it's log file. There is more information in ScidvsPC's help window under debugging analysis engines. Sorry, but further debugging these less well known xboard engines is not a priority for me, and i think this engine is too buggy to warrant a special case. Perhaps if you disable setboard under windows it will work ?. Arena often has hacks like this for known buggy engines. S.A.

I've trying to test Tom's simple chess program (tscp) in scidvspc, but so far I haven't got it to finish a full game. I'm using scidvspc 4.6, compiled from the svn repositories. I can add tscp (downloaded from http://www.tckerrigan.com/Chess/TSCP/Community/attachments/tscp-181d-ja.zip) as an xboard engine, and can use it to analyze any fen position, but when I setup a game against another engine, (say Toga), after 1.-e4, e5 2.-d4 ed5, the tscp (playing withe) just stops playing. When I launch scidvspc from the command line I don't get any extra info, so I don't have any idea what can be going wrong. On the other hand, in the arena software I can use tscp on an engine match without any problem. Has anybody been succesful with this engine over scidvspc?
