46.e5 Kd3 47.Ra7


I suggest we stop at -10.00 or next "illegal end of ponder search".
BigLion's pondering has not been as thoroughly tested in UCI mode as in WB mode :( .

My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

From the message "illegal end of ponder search" it looks like BL plays a move while in ponder mode,a "no no" according to the uci protocol,but if it does not upset the gui...

Just hanging around in ponder mode with only one legal move is implemented, but not working.
Should be easy to fix in BigLion, except when that one legal move also ends the game.

In that (UCI-)case,just end the ponder search but don't output moves, and just wait for new input.
