Update of bug #48321 (project xboard): Status: None => Invalid Open/Closed: Open => Closed
_______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #3: H.G. explained a bit more in email at the time: "Normally XBoard corrects all wins for a side with a bare King to a draw, and then appends this "but bare king" phrase to the result message. This is mainly meant for wins by forfeit (e.g. flagging), as in normal chess it should not be possible to checkmate when you have only a king. (There was a problem in variant atomic, where it actually quite usual that a king is the only piece left after you explode the opponent king with your last pieces, but this was fixed in 4.9.0.)" The above produces confusing results in a case like this one, where black won by checkmate, but (it seems) an engine bug caused the engine to send xboard a message saying that white won by checkmate. Correcting for engine bugs is a bit above and beyond the requirements for xboard, though it does try to do so sometimes. Anyway, I am closing this as an engine bug, not xboard bug. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48321> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
