Winboard: Missing time info in move 1(FEN/n.book)

Post by Guenther »

Since the original thread was overlooked I split the more important
issue for this thread.

When playing from a FEN position (with PGN that does not happen!) the time for the first move is not saved.

Bump...

This also happens when playing w/o book!
The time for the first White move always is missing.

This means it will happen in all situations when the first move of White
in the PGN/Move history is already a thinking move.

Code: Select all

[Event "RWBC"]
[Site "CAPPUCCINO"]
[Date "2016.09.21"]
[Round "1"]
[White "A"]
[Black "B"]
[Result "1/2-1/2"]
[TimeControl "120+1"]
[Number "1"]
[Annotator "1. +0.43   1... -0.19"]

1. e4 {+0.43/17} e6 {-0.19/20 10}

May be this is related to an old bug when also eval/depth was missing
for the first ply in the move history?
Little bug found

Hi Alessandro,

I have found a little bug in your WinboardX. The first one after
quite long ;) It seems it cannot attach the score/depth
for the first ply currently ?
I noticed this during my _bookless_ long time control matches.

Best wishes,
Guenther

Oh and as I am already writing, would it be difficult to let
the user change the standard PGN event header? :)
