Version 3.0 of NoviceChessEngine:

Thanks to the Author cH141PiEng

The Novice chess engine is a port of the Butter chess engine to C. Various adjustments/functions are from the Video Instruction Chess Engine. It also has various enhancements to the alphaBeta function from CeeChess. In addition it has a bitboard version of CeeChess evaluation code with enhancements from Ethereal. Incorporated Search and Transposition code from Weiss.
Improved evaluation, fixed castling bug and implemented king position evaluation.

I tried Invictus.r340.pext.exe. My hardware is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6950X CPU @ 3.00GHz 3000MHz, (10 cores, 20 threads)
I set the engine to play with 18 Threads and 512 MB Hash on Playchess server when this error occured with 2 cores less. Maybe there is a bug with MultiPV code?
