Go up one level in this thread

Ktulu is a strong engine and the results from the beta versions were promising
(look at the standings of my last A tournament :
http://loirechecs.chez.tiscali.fr/chesswar/Chesswar006/Chesswar006ASt.htm)

Three main mistakes were made in my opinion :

1. Testing under some GUIs that hide bugs (no testing at all under Winboard!!)

2. Asking the GUI to adjudicate games (hiding all the endgame bugs that happened
during my test match vs The King)

3. Releasing a version that has some known bugs.
