Ah, I didn't understand this fully. I understood how Tiger wouldn't give up its final pawn before but didn't realize that it would still think it is KRNKR even after that. > >This bug is already fixed and will not exist anymore in the next release. > >However I believe that Tiger will get a 0 elo points increase with this fix, >because when the bug happens the 50 moves rule will almost always save the day. > I am not sure - from the short sequence of moves seen in the end I'd think a draw by repetition could be another possible outcome. Anyway I agree it doesn't matter as you have fixed the problem( so additional information not needed anymore), it is a minor problem anyway and with Uli's offer to resign I'll try it only if my curiousity takes over and count it as a win for the Tiger in the meantime.
