Hmm... very strange!

It seems to me that good old SharpChess checks the opponent, and Geko tries to
avoid it by doing the long castling, which is illegal when in check. Maybe the
GUI don't recognise this as wrong and sends the move to SharpChess, which
rejects it and does nothing. Since SharpChess don't move the GUI set the score
to {Black wins on time}.

Nice to see that somebody still uses my old engine.
