A blunder in analysis of Crafty19.19 in emrald site

Post by Uri Blass »

I do not care about old programs but the problem is that the blunder is used for rating points of humans in CTS.

see the following links

http://chess.emrald.net/psolution.php?Pos=27789

http://chess.emrald.net/probprofile.php?Pos=27789

people get the points for the problem only if they find 1...Nf4 and 2...h6
People who find 2...Ng2+ that is also winning do not get rating points when Crafty's draw evaluation in the second link is simply wrong.

I wonder if it is possible to take all the positions from the emrald site and analyze them by something better in order to improve the emrald site.
