Olithink and illegal moves

[Dann Corbit]

Geschrieben von: / Posted by: Dann Corbit at 29 March 2000 03:30:55:
I have heard reports that Olithink occasionally performs an illegal move.
Can someone provide a position from which Olithink is reported to do that?
I am fiddling with the source code.

Hi Dann :
I haven't the games here but I comment now about some illegals moves;
OLITHINK sometimes refuse en passant captures for the other program.
By the way, BIONIC, GNU5 and CRAFTY sometimes refuse the first move
for the adversary...
CHESSTERFIELD see p.e. e2xe4 when is e2e4; PIERRE refuse play with black, sometimes; there are very much amateurs programs with some of this problems, but with EDIT GAME or witn EDIT POSITION or with RESET in the commands of the Winboard, the problems dissapeared...
Sorry, I talk so much about all and only a little bit about OLI...
Bye
Carlos
