when I setup a position inside Shredder Chess - e.g.

4k3/3pp3/8/8/3p4/8/4N3/4KB2 b - -
As Peter told, can you try with a corrected fen like this one?

4k3/3pp3/8/8/3p4/8/4N3/4KB2 b - - 0 1

Thanks!

Vael Jean-Paul (jpqy) asked for a BMI2 compile. I have just done one but after 10000 games seems a little worse :? I will let the test go on at least to 20000, but for the moment I don't see the supposed maybe 10 elo gain.

I saw here:
https://chessprogramming.wikispaces.com ... tions-PEXT
and then the source code of Stockfish. I see that in it the gain should come from using _pext_u64 in search for magic index. Is just what I have done. Then the compile was a pgo one exactly like I do always. Someone has an idea of what is happening? Thanks!

Hi Daniel,
it is not my fen, it is this line:

### 4.: to Andscacs 0.86 x64 1CPU (0): position fen 4k3/3pp3/8/8/3p4/8/4N3/4KB2 b - - moves

Looks like this is sent by the GUI. Does Andscacs understand this correct?

This is the line Arena sends:
-->1:position fen 4k3/3pp3/8/8/3p4/8/4N3/4KB2 b - - 0 1

regards
Werner

PS
version 0.71 has no problems here:

I installed Schreeder GUI and I can confirm is due to lack of halfmove clock and fullmove number. I can solve this. I tell something.

I just updated the zip file with a version that is able to work with Schredder bug. Can you try it?

I see. It depends on how do you setup the position also.
A new updated version that should work for this case:
