Subject: Re: Hiarcs 7.32 Bug??

Go up one level in this thread


My experience is that the analysis window is only updated after each candidate
move is calculated. For example if there are 30 candidate moves, it will get
updated 30 times during the calculation for each ply. If a particular candidate
move causes it to calculate longer, then the analysis windows is not updated in
the interim. If you watch it for a long time, at higher ply depths it will slow
down to being updated only every hour or so, then eventually not at all.  So I
don't believe what you are describing is a "bug", just a design flaw.  I agree
that it would be better to have it updated more frequently, at least once every
minute.
