Re: [Bug-gnubg] Re: Showing Moves

[Rod Roark]

Here's a bit more info.

First, it seems I was wrong about the inconsistency.  GnuBG 
(using the external controller) consistently plays as if it
were its opponent.  I was able to work around this by
reversing the players before passing it the board.

Second, a new problem.  It's dropping all doubles!  Do you
have any idea why?

BTW I'm testing this with the 030511 snapshot.  I can set it
up for you to play with if you like.
