You know better than me, that the format of the actual PV is practically undefined in the WB/XB protocol. If CP is dependent on some specific features in the format of the PV, one could consider this as a bug of CP. At least, it would be good, if you documented which PV formats are recognized. But the format for the score is rather well defined in the protocol (excluding mate scores, which of course might be a problem, and should be fixed in the protocol). When an engine sends strange scores (or other things defined in the thinking output in the protocol before the actual PV), the engine should be blamed. Regards, Dieter
