  the program install on C:YaY_Ultimate_3, is very important that you don`t change the default directory because the included shortcuts for the batch examples and WinBoard shortcuts are pointing to this default directory.

                                                          

                                                          

Please, Please, Please...take your time to read View Commands and Notes.txt


Select to launch YaY Ultimate 3 and Winboard Shortcuts installer on finishing installing.

 YaY should now have been installed along with WinBoard and all of the shortcuts needed.

 You should now have a YaY Ultimate 3 folder like the one pictured below (Figure 2), located here:  C:YaY_Ultimate_3

Click on any of the available TABS and select from the list the Yahoo Chess room you wish to enter and then click on Joinroom as shown above in Figure 6.

Note that the numbers in the parenthesis next to each room is the actual number of players in that room at that time.

Note: If the room you want to enter is not displayed in any of the regions, remember that you canal ways declare the room in a batch file or in the command prompt when launching YaY Ultimate, example: YaY_Ultimate_3.exe --room chess_aa

Next you will seethe Test Word window (Figure 7)

 And then you'll see WinboardsICS Interaction window:

 



That`s it. You are now ready to play automatically.

For a list of commands read the file Commands and Notes.txt included with YaY Ultimate distribution.

To access the ICS Menu (which now contains most of the commands thanks to the new winboard.ini), right click on the ICS Interaction window. The next frame will pop up (Figure 14):

 

                                                                              Figure 14


There is no tutorial on how to use this ICS Menu, it is self explanatory. 

Note: To perform an action that requires addition information, for example to boot a player, you need to move the mouse scursor over of the player`s name then bring the ICS Menu up (by right clicking) then click on Boot(player) and YaY will boot that player without you having to type a single letter. This was just an example;there are hundreds of things you can do with the ICS Menu. Very easy folks, just play with it and you`ll understand how it works. Another note: Sometime the example above will not work if the player you want to boot has special character in his/hers ID, like underscore or perhaps some others.

 

----END----

 

By releasing YaY Ultimate 3 the way we did, and by adding these tutorials, now newbies will be able to be auto-playing at Yahoo chess almost instantly. We dono condemn the use of YaY and chess engines for cheating purposes.It is our whole intention to facilitate the use of these programs to newbies and perhaps some existing users, to show to them the exiting world of auto-chess playing.But things do not end here, we encourage all users to do their homework and their research, learn how to improve the performance of their computers, how to make opening books, to acquire more powerful engines, to tinker with settings and perhaps learn a programming language and write a chess engine or a better program than YaY, Rybka.

That's all my friends. You should be ready to go and play. You need to learn how to chat, create tables, start games,, leave tables, set timers, etc , etc,etc. 

Piece of advice, save and back up this page and the files you downloaded because they won't be available for ever.

Thanks a lot to the authors of winboard and YtoICS for making them available to the public for free, and to the guy or guys who figured out how to use all these programs/scripts together to achieve the goal of making chessbase programs to play automatically in yahoo chess servers.
