What about the bug of finding mates when there is no mate because of wrong
stalemate detection?

I know that you know about that bug in stalemate detection for some years so
what is the reason that you did not fixed it.

You do not have to fix the bug and Junior is a good program inspite of the bug
but I hope that you can explain the reason that you did not fix it.

I am interested to know which of the following possibilities is correct(more
than 1 can be correct)

1)It is hard to fix it without generating new bugs and without reducing it's
playing strength because of making it slower and it is not something that you
can do in a short time.

2)It is easy and possible to fix it without bugs in a short time but the result
will be that Junior will be at least 5% slower and it means lower rating.

3)Fixing the problem without bugs and without doing Junior slower is something
that you plan to do sometimes in the future but it was not until now in the top
of your priorities.
