After creating a Gambit S8 and playing it against the default. Ponder = off the default saves the pondered move and if Gambit plays it continues the search from there. With the UCI Gambit even if it correctly had in it's search the move as the reply to it's, it re-searches from scratch? Do I have something wrong?, did I miss something?. Maybe I just need a re-boot.
