I've seen this repeated but does the protocol say anything about this?
I know at least Fritz could send something like this:

position .....
go ....
position ....
go ....

Without sending a stop ore wait for a move first. See the log-file I sent you in
May.
This could happend 3-4 times in a 40 games match (nunn-match).

I have not examined this carefully so it could be a bug connected with a mating
move.

This behavior did at least for me lead to implementing the command interpreting
just like in wb. Eg. expect all thing when searching.

I will send '?\nforce\nnew' to the wb engine when I detect a new game if the
engine are thinking.

For your complain about the result tag I must agree, normaly you would expect a
'new' after result but what if you get a 'setboard', start a search or wait for
a go.
