This may or may not be a problem. I just swindled a draw from Comet playing on an old P2-300 at a TC of 5 min + 5 sec by tricking the engine into a perpetual check trap. I ran it for over 40 minutes after the game and Comet still didn't want to play 38. Rd3+!. I realize this PC is about 20 times slower then a good PC these days, but still .... Could someone check to see if Comet still doesn't see the idea on a faster machine? The few other engines I checked see the idea pretty fast. Something's up ...

Comet has a special algo attempting to find out perpetuals a bit earlier.
Could be that this is triggered too often; in a game of the last Paderborn tourney, there had also been a case where I had been suspecting that this might have happened; but unfortunately I had forgotten to analyze after the torney.

Greetings,
