Minic can't mate in a rook and king vs king endgame, at least not in this game vs Winter (which minic had played in a brilliant way!). There's still a lot of room for improvement it seems.

Thanks for reporting.
I am never able to reproduce those kind of things at home, but there is indeed probably something wrong.
Can you give me the TC used, the hash size, and if a NNUE net was loaded please ?

No nnue was loaded, it was just plain minic. TC was 2 min + 1 sec, 1 thread, ponder on.

Edit: oh, and no TBs either.

Maybe ponder on is the thing. I'll check that ...

In fact ponder on is simply crashing here when opponent plays instantly. So I have a threading issue at least !

Haven't seen crashes, Minic 2.50 has now played over 250 games and no problems, besides that weird endgame that I just catched up live.

I guess I "recognize" that, I did the work for building that and generating the data. But I cannot have my engine rated with such a copy/paste of code ... Let the dust settle. Will see what will happen in some months ...
I understand your opinion. I hesitate even to copy one single line into my engine. Where is the glory in that?

Minic is a very unique engine I appreciate a lot -without many copied NNUE lines.

I had a bug in OliThink for many years which showed only so every 5000 games:
http://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=74821

Funny fact is that is was detected by an humbe programmer already in 2013, but nobody cared... :)
