[Graham Banks]

PLP tried to make an illegal move in three of the seven games that I ran, so I've given up on it.

[Aser Huerga]

Thanks Graham, I detected one crash in five games; can't check illegal moves now, but anyway I will follow you and give it up by the moment.

[Aser Huerga]

[Graham Banks]

Hi Aser,

do you find that after the first time control is up, Marvin uses most of its time for the second time control on a few moves?

Cheers,
Graham.

[Graham Banks]

I only meant Marvin. Regardless, I still test Marvin.
Mind you, I used to have problems with Wing, which is why I didn't test it.
I've not used Elephant or Eagle, so will be interested to see how they get on.

Cheers,
Graham.

[Aser Huerga]

Sorry Graham, you mean Marvin.
I was out for a few hours, and now I'm playing the micro computer tournament. But I remember seeing this behaviour wuth Marvin in the past. Later I'll check it.

[Aser Huerga]

I've just check it and answer is no, at least in the random games I saw belong to this tournament. But I'm almost sure I saw Marvin using a lot of time in move 41º, just after the time control, maybe in a gauntlet in the past, I don't remember where, sorry.In any case, only a bad time management, not crashes.

Best regards.
