additional information regarding the bug: the sequence: set gnubgid XGID=---BBBB---A-AA---b--Dbcce-:1:1:1:42:1:1:0:5:10 hint leads to the absurd evaluation for 13/7
This one leads to a reasonable evaluation: set gnubgid XGID=---BBBB---A-AA---b--Dbcce-:1:1:1:42:1:1:0:5:10 move 13 7 previous previous analyse move hint ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Dirk Schiemann <[email protected]> Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 at 18:14 Subject: Strange evaluations in certain positions To: <[email protected]> Hi, I regularily encounter strange evaluations by GNU in certain position types, mainly when it is about racing against the gammon. Here an extreme example where GNU thinks my move 13/7 is 219 blunder where all resonable moves should yield roughly the same equity: XGID=---BBBB---A-AA---b--Dbcce-:1:1:1:42:1:1:0:5:10 Two questions: is this a known bug and is somebody still working on the software? I am planning to launch a backgammon platform with GNU as its engine, which is why it would be very helpful for me to receive a reply. Best regards, Dirk Schiemann
