Once past 50 (either actual or in the search), it would think all moves were equivalent, and would pick whatever happened to be first. Now I take into account potential loss of material. There is a similar bug some progs have, that when a repetition is found, it doesn't consider whose move it is. So, it might move into a repeat position and score it a draw, except that when the position occurred before it was the progs turn to move, and now it's going to lose its piece. Will
