Tragic comedy in pondering
Posted: Tue Apr 02, 2019 8:00 am
Deuterium plays a tour in https://www.g-sei.org/i-g-w-t/. In one of those games it played a move and a ponder move where the ponder move leads to stalemate.
Deuterium is white and played bestmove Kh1 ponder Kf3
[d]8/8/3b4/8/8/4k3/6Kp/8 w - - 68 109
Arena followed what the engine was saying and sent
position startpos moves [....] Kh1 Kf3
go ponder [...]
Is there any other GUI that will send a stalemate position to the engine, in this similar case?
Deuterium ponders but when Arena told it to stop, it could not reply (even bestmove 0000 could have been enough). I have a bug.
Do you check the position after the ponder that it still has a legal move?
