I reached the following position: 1r3rk1/p1p2p2/3p2p1/2pP2Np/q7/1P2Q1P1/1K2BP1P/R6R b KQkq - 0 31 in a game started with the command xboard -st 0:30 -autosave -debug -initString "new^Mbeep^Mpost^M" and the machine played g8g7, ie gave up the queen!! I don't understand how this could happen, I was quite enjoyinmg what had been a relatively even game (I think) The debug output for that move was: I had just played R-a1 ----->>>------- Sending to first: d1a1 Received from first: d1a1 Received from first: 45. d1a1 Received from first: Received from first: Move# 31 Target= 3000 Clock: 0 Received from first: 2. -448 0 2 a4d4 Received from first: 3. -448 0 3 a4d4 Received from first: 4& -488 1 11824 a4d4 e3d4 c5d4 b2a2 f8e8 e2d3 Received from first: 4+ -351 13 124612 a4b4 b2c1 f8e8 a1a7 e8e3 Received from first: 4- -363 14 136018 a4b4 a1a7 f8e8 e3d3 b8b7 Received from first: 4- -361 14 136781 g8g7 a1a4 f8d8 e2h5 Received from first: 4- -361 14 139214 c5c4 a1a4 g8g7 e2h5 Received from first: 4. -361 15 141511 c5c4 a1a4 g8g7 e2h5 Received from first: 5- -555 15 142970 c5c4 a1a4 b8b7 e2h5 b7b3 e3b3 Received from first: 5- -553 15 144253 g8g7 a1a4 c5c4 e2h5 Received from first: 5. -361 30 286324 g8g7 a1a4 c5c4 e2h5 Received from first: 37. ... g8g7 Received from first: Gen 1157308 Node 286324 Tree 885 Eval 19699 Rate 9544 EC 12620/6063 RS hi 1 lo 1 Received from first: Hin/Hout/Tcol/Coll/Fin/Fout = 10529/4451/0/0/0/0 Received from first: My move is: g8g7 ----->>>------- Is this just the standard I should expect at 30 secs per move ?? Surely not. The rest of the time it plays really well, have I done something (or not done something) critical. What do the numbers before the moves on the debug output signify, and are there any clues as to what happeneed in them ?? Much obliged Kevin PS I am running, with xboard on a Solaris 2.3 Sun SPARC 5! 7:52 ~/bin [2] gnuchess -v Gnuchess version 4.00 patchlevel 70
