Zarkov 4.0 32 bit was stuck on Bxd8 for about 2200 seconds {around 62 million
nodes}, then made this choice:
22.Bxe5 Qxe5 23.f4 Qb8 24.Qb3 Qxb3 25.axb3 e2 26.Rd2 Bb5 27.Bf3 Re8 28.Re1
Rad8 29.Bxe2 Bxe2 30.Rdxe2 Rxe2 31.Rxe2 Rxd5
with an eval of about +2.00.
About 10 minutes into the analysis, it could see that Bxd8 was bad
(eval -0.23) but it took a very long time to find a suitable alternative.
Crafty seems to avoid Bxd8 right away. How do other engines do? Perhaps it is
some sort of a bug.
Also, I only seem to get about 28KNPS for Zarkov 32 bit. Is it a slow searcher,
or do I have my machine configured improperly? (It's only a 300MHz PII on the
machine w/ Zarkov 4).
