Restart Manually

Reachable in the main menu under Engines arrow Engine 1(2,3..) arrow Start or with a click with the right mouse button on the mainlines of the engine, then choose '(Re)start engine' from the pop up menu. Hotkeys: Shift+F11 or Shift+F12 .

This (re)starts an engine manually. Normally this is not necessary, because the engines start automatically, if needed. If an engine behaves strange, try to restart it.

This function is useful if you made changes to the configuration file of a WinBoard engine. These changes normally come into effect only if you restart an engine.
