Go up one level in this thread


Russell,

How about checking:

1) Try a situaltion where no castling is allowed e.g. move king to d1 and d8.
See if the problem still exists.  This will tell you if it is a castling
problem.

2) Are you doing repetition detection in the perft routine?  I'm not sure what
the convention is - is it the norm?  Clearly the 4th ply would be when it comes
to light.

3) Are you doing castling through check i.e. Black rook on d8 threaten d1 and
you castle - probably not the problem since you're not finding enough positions.

Hoep you find the problem - let us know what it is!
