These are some positions that it works on:

8/7p/6pP/k4pP1/b1p1pP2/KpPpP3/1P1P4/7Q w - - 0 1
3k4/2p1p1p1/p1P1P1Pp/P6P/4K3/8/8/8 w
8/4k3/8/p1p1p1p1/P1P1P1P1/8/2B1K3/8 w
4b3/4k3/2p1p1p1/1pPpPpPp/pP1P1P1P/P2K4/3B4/8 w - - 0 1
4k3/8/1p1p4/pPpPp1p1/P1P1PpPp/5P1P/2BB4/K7 w
8/8/8/k3p1p1/1p1pPpP1/1PpP1P2/K1P3B1/8 w - - 0 1

It will return drawscores for all of the above positions


3B4/1r2p3/r2p1p2/bkp1P1p1/1p1P1PPp/p1P1K2P/PPB5/8 w - - 0 1
Plays Ba4,b3,c4,etc., which draws and shows 0.00 score.

8/4kr1b/4p3/rp1pPp1p/pPpP1PpP/P1P3P1/2K5/8 w
Does not take the rook with bxa5, which loses.

2k5/2p5/1q1p4/pPpPp1pp/N1P1Pp2/P4PbP/KQ4P1/8 w - - 0 1
Doesn't play Nxb6, which is immediate draw.

7r/1k5p/2p3pP/rpPp1pP/p2PpP/P3P/1K/4B w
Doesn't take Bxa5, which may allow black to win.

3k4/2p1b3/1p2p1p1/p1p1P2p/P1P3P1/1P5P/5P2/2B3K1 w - - 0 25
Probably drawing anyway, but doesn't play any of Kg2/f4/g5/h4 which are
immediate draws.

Here is a position where it fails, because it doesn't realize the white queen is
completely imprisoned:
5k2/1q4bQ/5p1p/p1p1pPpP/2PpP1P1/Pp1P4/1P5K/5B2 b - - 0 1
