Probably another example of incorrect mate count because of not adjusting mate scores in the hash table. I suspect that this happens more often when doing a parallel search. The problem is easy to fix, but I haven't done it so far because I don't care at all. As long as the program doesn't announce mate when there is no mate (which I have never seen happen), I don't care that the number of moves is occasionally wrong. An increasing number of users are complaining about this, though. Perhaps it's time to fix it (it's probably at most five minutes of work). Tord
