Last minute... Maybe an EGTB problem?

With no access to the Gaviotas, Bxb5? is rejected much faster!

Hi Ernest, hi all

parallel search has some strange moves from time to time. Even houdini blunders sometimes into a clear loss.
The problem is, that none of those moves can be reproduced.
For all mp engines I recommend to see if it happens more often, and then start looking deeper whats wrong.
Btw. critter is doing amazingly strong in this tournament!

Regards, Clemens

Yes Clemens, but in the present case, my result also stands with a single thread (reproducible)...
