Thanks for the tests, Jesper. I don't know what's messing with the knight evaluation code. On second thoughts, this score on long time control looks about normal, maybe slightly less but certainly not too low.

Thanks for trying to find bugs in 5.0 test suite. It looks like v3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 are without bugs, and new positions for v2.0 is currently in tests. Will release the corrected one sooner.

Best Regards,

Hi Swami,

First: Thx for your good work!

I've found duplicate positions in the STS 4.0 test suite, is not really a bug, maybe you have some spare positions.

6rk/5Qp1/7p/4p2P/1p1rq3/6R1/PP6/K5R1 b - - bm Qc2; c0 "Qc2=10, Qe2=4, Qf4=4"; id "STS(v4.0) Square Vacancy.021";
6rk/5Qp1/7p/4p2P/1p1rq3/6R1/PP6/K5R1 b - - bm Qc2; c0 "Qc2=10, Qd5=3, Qe2=5, Qf4=5"; id "STS(v4.0) Square Vacancy.090";

r6k/1p2rR1P/2p3p1/4p1q1/8/pP6/P1P5/1K2Q2R w - - bm Qa5; c0 "Qa5=10, Rf2=6, Rf3=6, Rff1=6"; id "STS(v4.0) Square Vacancy.062";

Hi Maarten,

You're welcome, and Many thanks to you for finding it out! Yes I may have spare positions to replace them with, I'll ask Dann about it, else I will create the new ones for replacement.

Thanks again, and do keep reporting any bugs or duplicates if you find them in future. :)

Regards,
Swami
