Yes, I agree. But if you talk about 'several known bugs' you should tell
details. Everything else will end in speculations.

KQ vs. KR is not so easy without tablebases :-)

Who hides bugs?

Don't missunderstand me, I would like to know about problems if there are some.
I saw the one with the strange error message, but that was the same problem as
in the KQ vs K endgame. So I am aware of one bug at the moment.

It's OK if you told Rahman about it, thanks.

Best,
Alex
