Out of interest, I did "uci" and "go depth 20" on Spark 0.3 but it only reports bestmove for "info depth 17" so it looks like the real depth -3 for some reason? Bug?
Spark should report the searched depth accurately.
This appears to be a minor bug, and shouldn't affect games.
If no time is specified (as in your case), the maximum search time defaults to 5 seconds, probably this causes what you're seeing.
(You will only reach depth ~17 for 'go depth 30' in stead of 20, correct?)
On the end of the interview you can find information about new official versions of Bright and Spark. I think the programmer will upload the files in the evening.
The interview is in English language (I think I have to make some corrections, I will do it tomorrow). I added the questions in German too.
Have fun !!
Best
Frank
