Question about HGM's ICS

Marcel has ported icsdroneng to ICC. His fixes make it work on HGM's ICS as well. However icsdroneng segfaults. After some debugging I noticed that HGM's ICS sometimes seems to send a board with a faulty en passant file. In the above board it is -1082010152 which looks like an unitialized variable.

Comments?

Unregistered players must specify their e-mail address.
Why does one have to supply an email address to list the moves of a game?

This is more like a missing feature.....

Code: Select all

fics% rematch
rematch: Command not found.
Rematch is quite convenient to organize a series of games between two engines.
