Hello support-team,
it is a computerchess-related topic e.g. running Python 0.99.3
https://github.com/pychess/pychess/releases/download/0.99.3/pychess-engine-20180928.pyz
outsite its own graphical user interface
https://github.com/pychess/pychess/releases/download/0.99.3/pychess-0.99.3-win32.msi
on an external front-end like WinBoard Interface
http://www.open-aurec.com/wbforum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=51528
http://www.open-aurec.com/wbforum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=51528 with protocol
CECP http://hgm.nubati.net/CECP.html
A detailed description (with all necessary configurations) how to accomplish
this problem is hosted on my Google Drive chess collection
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B5Ao6h_yMCl6ay04RjVtUDVTUG8 > folder
Pychess_20180928
Günther Simon from Germany http://www.rwbc-chess.de/ http://www.rwbc-chess.de/
reported that PyPy for Windows caused problems to run PyChess engine in
contrast to WinPython or Python for Windows 3.
Best wishes,

https://github.com/winpython/winpython/releases/download/1.9.20171031/WinPython-64bit-3.6.3.0Qt5.exe
https://github.com/winpython/winpython/releases/download/1.9.20171031/WinPython-64bit-3.6.3.0Qt5.exe
and install it on a drive e.g. C:\
This procedure can take more than 30 minutes.
* Create a directory on C:\Engines\WB\PyChess_20180928 with the following
working components:

> PyChess_20180928 = renamed InBetween

> PyChess Zip application
* Run WinBoard GUI > Load first engine > PyChess_20180928.exe (without any
commandline-parameters) under protocol WB-2
It will not run with PyPy https://pypy.org/download.html
https://pypy.org/download.html on Windows, because there are only 32-bit PyPy
installs for Windows available, while at least latest pychess.pyz seems to rely
on some 64-bit Python stuff, which throws some known exceptions (according to
Günther´s Google research) in this case.
