Polyglot engines thinking moves display

[alex0025]

back in 2008 i asked matematiko about something related to display the engine output thinking moves to the table at that time i saw this option in action while playing againts a dude at yahoo somehow the room were displaying the the thinking process of his/her program matematiko pointed me to http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/html/download.htm witch was indee a good resource to learn about polyglot. after reading that page looks like the commands to get the job done were the following ones

KibitzMove <----suppost to display the moves
KibitzPV <------ Whether to kibitz when the PV is changed
KibitzCommand = tellall <-------replaced by Kib cause yay uses kib instead of tellall
KibitzDelay = 5 <-----dont matter much cause move kibitzes are always sent
regardless of the delay.

well after making the proper changes to polyglot.ini still wont display the engine output thinking moves to the table any 1 here knows what the hell is the problem? or if im doing something wrong? the ini configuration to display the moves should be as fallows

KibitzMove = true
KibitzPV = true
KibitzCommand = Kib
KibitzDelay = 5

If you are playing in any sort of ICS ir FICS server...that is enough.

If you are playing in Yahoo using YaY, what you want is never going to happen....at least not with the public version.

YaYp filters all the "crap" sent by the engine and only reports the score, assuming "set kibscore" is set to true.....I dont even remember if this is an option available in the public release.

Cheers,

i agree with matematiko this option its not included in the public release. its possible cause i saw it in action but its not public i never saw it again, not to mention that this was back in 2008 i dont recall if kibscore option was public back then either
