the "book" problem: Three or four other engines produced the same problem (Igel for an example).
Minic do nothing in lost position I have more times.
At the moment after 17.704 games 23 program crashes from two engines.
Code: Select all
Maybe interesting for programmers:
Program crashes = 23

I know that from my long-time work with Marin Blume around Arena or with the the work I do with Sergei (Chess-Assistant).
I am quite sure that you never checked your engine with the UCI-Mother-GUI Shredder.
Type debug if Shredder GUI loaded!
I wrote in the last 25 years so many messages to engine programmers with error messages.
My Arena Forum are around 2006 full of such material.
Allways the same:
Ponder = On problems
Time-Management problems.
Problems with endgame databases.
Crashes before mate.
For a mate in 8, engine give output ... mate in 16, next move mate in 12, next move no mate and so one.
Allways the same problems!
And in most of cases problems with UCI standard implemantion.
And in most of cases "very new" enignes.
And in most of cases engines often updated.
Since many years I never wrote such messages because I do here enough.
I am not the beta tester from Minic.
But I like your program and I hope you can find and fix the problems.
Please check it in self work under Shredder GUI.
Best
Frank
