If anyone faces the same problem, please use the previous version 0.35 as the temporary solution.

Well, don't worry - let's wait if anyone else reports the same problem, or if it only happens on my computer (although this would be very unlikely).

I have multiple systems (Windows), Desktop 1 worked with no problems, however Desktop 2 did indeed have the same issue. I decided to stay on version 35 for the other systems.

Thanks all for your patience. I have managed to reproduce the issue on a Linux system, fixed the bug, and uploaded new binaries (0.36b). Please download and help me to test them.

Regarding the discussion about syzygy paths and adjudication.

Syzygy path for engines: files should be on SSD. Storing full 7-piece on SSD is not feasible, unless very big wallet.

syzygy adjudication path: a good argument for a own path is that many is willing to go for 7-piece adjudication. 7-piece is affordable to store on HDD or mechanical drives. HDD cripple engine speed once endgame approaches. Therefore HDDs is more suited for simple adjudication.

Great stuff with your latest updates!

In my Honey engines, I have ShowWDl option - but it's not readily apparent how I display that info:

This is with soon to be release Black-Diamond-Xr5

Another suggestion,

Beautify the output ,transferring it from "long algebraic" to algebraic ,i.e., "g1f3" becomes "Nf3 "e2e4" becomes "e4." etc. best to do in th GUI so as not harm the engine when done in the engine exe. Winboard/xboard and the Chessbase products do this. I can dig up some code that does this. It's been done many times.

Also, it's not apparent to me - say you paste a game in to analyze, to play out different moves than what were played in the game. It seen like you are only allowed to move back and forth with the moves that were played in the game? I assume I'm doing something wrong.

That is not true with my setup.

Whenever an engine prints out string info with the keyword "wdl" BSG will collect data and auto display them in 4 places as a graph, brief info, a column in engine info table (Engine info panel) and in Moves panel as bellow illustration.

That info (wdl) can store with PGN file and next time loading BSG may display them in the graph and in Moves panel.

If you can't see any those info, please check if you turn on that option. You may look at Engine log panel to see if your engine really prints out "wdl".

(Your engine runs quite smoothly with wdl in my computer )
