The fact that you never heard about bugs under Winboard does not prove that
there are none. The bugs were reported directly to Rahman, I think there is no
need to expose them all here, he will fix them anyway. You may ask him for
details.

Bugs in simple endgames were noticed by several users. I personally reported an
earlier version of Ktulu being unable to mate with KBN vs K. Another user
reported that Ktulu 7.0 was not able to win KQ vs K, and I saw Ktulu trying
unsuccesfully to win the endgame KQ vs KR.

re Rahman will fix the bug and offer a free update.

Please don't be misunderstood. I like the Ktulu engine and I am an intensive
user of Arena, so my interest is Arena being improved. Hiding the bugs and
denying their existence is a bad policy in my opinion.
