Winboard 4.8.0b and Amazon chess variant
Posted: Sat Dec 05, 2015 12:50 pm
I am developing an amazon variant and testing it against Sjaak II 1.0.0 in a game under Machine Match mode.
Winboard added a dot after a move by my engine Matibay v0.1. This move with a dot was
sent to Sjaak by winboard and Sjaak indicated that the move is illegal.
The move itself is legal without a dot. This happened on whites's 45th move.
Winboard settings:
Test Legality is off
Ponder off
Adjudications/Verify Engine Claims is on
Adjudications/Detect Mates is on
Why winboard added a dot after a move?
Here is the later part of the debug file, first = Matibay, second = Sjaak.
