Definitely interested in what you've come up with for that - everything I've tried so far has failed.
Have you tried searching only 1 step move in qsearch?

In the server.ataxx there is a game with illegal move termination. But it looks like a repetition.

In the tag pair, [Adjudicated "Illegal move by black"], better is Termination instead of Adjudicated.

Does the "Illegal move by black" refers to salakay or tiktaxx doing the illegal move? Note in the game board, salakay has black stones.

According to the log the invalid move was a 0000 (null move).

Actually I have - but it's possible that while it failed previously it may test stronger now. I'll give it another shot at some point.

I get the feeling it's saying Tiktaxx has played an illegal move, which I find a little odd considering I've played thousands of games with it and never encountered such a thing. It's especially odd considering I wrote the movegen for both python-ataxx and libataxx (which Tiktaxx is using). I don't discount the possibility that I have a bug though.
