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.
