Xboard epd test suite

Post by Canoike »

Hi,
I ran my epd test suite with xboard 4.9.0 with this command line :
xboard -epd -mg 1500 -lpf 1500.epd -lpi -1 -st 0:10 -matchPause 500 -fd="/home/user/jeux/polyglot" -fcp="/home/user/jeux/polyglot/polyglot1.4.70b"

The test was finished very (too) quickly with 1352 positions found. Does xboard go to the next position as soon as the solution is found ?

I did the same test with the same engine with polyglot epd options. This time it took one hour to complete and found 1382 solutions.

HG Mueller, is there a bug in xboard ?

Thank you.
