I do not care about fixing the problem of not pondering in case that I have no pv move to ponder because I am afraid from bugs and there are simply more important things to improve. In most cases movei has a move to ponder and I probably may get less than 5 elo from fixing the problem by calculating a move to ponder. Uri Uri
