ChessGUI has no clue what move Amundsen finally wanted to play, though the engine was contemplating moving the rook from f7 to a7.

The bug is too heavy for GUI to "fix".

Matthias.
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

Thanks Matthias. I'll let Amundsen play a few more games just in case this is a rare bug or isolated incident.
Glass 1.1 and Mediocre 0.34 seem to be working okay for me. 8-)

Watch memory useage of Mediocre 0.34 for 5 consecutive moves.
I don't tolerate what I saw.

You can handle Hash of Glass 1.1 wisely under ChessGUI to compensate for the extra memory it uses for pawn hash and eval hash.
The option is "Reduce Mem" in engine installation window. Works only for UCI engines, of course.

I had to remove Amundsen because it also lost its next game in the same manner. :cry:
