I would like to report a bug. gnuchess uses 100% cpu even when waiting for a move from the opponent.

Did you turn off pondering (thinking on opponent's time)?

Dear users of GNU Chess,

That problem was fixed in version 6.1.0. However, as Matthew suggests, if the hard mode is enabled (this is the default setting), GNU Chess will use 100% of CPU even while the opponent is thinking. If you run it in easy mode, it will not happen:

gnuchess -e

Or, while running, enter the 'easy' command.

Best regards,
Antonio Ceballos
