Greetings all, 

     A. I am a beginning/intermediate player and I've started using SCID
        to track my games. I like to use the blunder check capability
        but I'm a little confused about how it works. One thing I want
        it to check for is missed opportunities for mate. I've been
        working with one particular game where there is a mate in three
        opportunity on move 34, which I missed. I'd like the blunder
        check to point this out, but it doesn't. If I leave the engine
        running (infinite analysis) and click on the move just before
        34, it instantly finds it - but while annotating, it doesn't.

Some details:

1. PGN attached - the mate in three I'm trying to catch starts on move
34 with 34.Nxf6

2. I'm using Stockfish 191 as the engine (although I've tried a few
others with the same result)

3. Initially I was using 5 seconds per move as the annotate setting, but
I've also tried 60 seconds per move - which didn't help.

I'm wondering if it has an issue dealing with the relative "score" of
mate versus some high numeric value or something? Thoughts anyone or any
idea why this isn't working or what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks,

-Matt
