Here is a game b/w sargon on a mac (white) and GNU chess (black) . What is the story with blacks 23rd move? Does it not see the pawn on f4, or perhaps it thinks it has a check? I can't reproduce the problem by backing up a few moves, it always prefers 23 .. c8b7 if given the chance, so it is something pretty subtle and no doubt nearly impossible to find. There was definitely no mistake made on input and there was no time problem for black so I would say it is a genuine bug. The game continued as shown with no mistakes, so I guess both programs knew where all the pieces were OK. # xboard game file -- Mon Aug 31 17:59:56 1992 mwr@koel vs. gnuchessx@localhost algebraic 1. b2b3 b8c6 2. b1c3 e7e6 3. g1f3 g8f6 4. e2e4 f8b4 5. c1b2 e8g8 6. e4e5 b4c3 7. b2c3 f6e4 8. c3b2 d7d6 9. d2d3 e4g5 10. f3d2 h7h6 11. b2a3 f7f6 12. e5d6 c7d6 13. f1e2 c6d4 14. e1g1 g8h8 15. f2f4 g5f7 16. e2h5 d4f5 17. d2c4 b7b5 18. d1f3 a8b8 19. c4e3 d8b6 20. a1e1 b6a5 21. e3f5 a5a3 22. f5e7 a3c5 23. f1f2 f7e5 Continues ... 24. f4e5 c8b7 25. e7g6 h8g8 26. f3h3 f8d8 27. e5f6 e6e5 28. f6f7 g8h7 29. e1f1 e5e4 30. g1h1 d8f8 31. h3f5 c5f5 32. f2f5 a7a6 33. h1g1 b7c6 34. f5f4 e4d3 35. c2d3 b8a8 36. f4g4 c6b7 37. g6f8 a8f8 38. h5g6 h7h8 39. f1e1 b7c6 40. g1h1 d6d5 41. g4f4 c6d7 42. e1e7 d7c6 43. e7c7 d5d4 44. c7c6 a6a5 45. c6c8 f8c8 46. f7f8q c8f8 47. f4f8 White wins
