In version 2.7, I modified the see pruning in quiescence search and forgot to disable it when in check. This caused some positions to be misevaluated, and even some losses in games: for example against Nemeton during the december blitz tourney: http://talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 81&t=66034
Curiously fixing this bug does not bring any Elo, so I am not in hurry to release version 2.8.

In my development version, the correct move Qxa8 is found much faster:
