Hi, I configured ScidVsPC to use the Stockfish chess engine and noticed an issue where Stockfish would crash when asked to evaluate a position already in checkmate. This issues happens frequently if Stockfish is running during the checkmate in N training. Solving the puzzle results in a crash.
I filed a bug on the issue at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1325013 but the maintainer attributed the issue to Stockfish being asked to evaluate an invalid move. Here's the engine log of an example crash: Engine: readyok Scid : position fen 4k3/8/4K2Q/8/8/8/8/8 w - - 3 8 Scid : go infinite [...] Engine analysis here Scid : stop Scid : isready Engine: readyok Engine: bestmove h6h8 Scid : position fen 4k3/8/4K2Q/8/8/8/8/8 w - - 3 8 moves h6h8 Scid : go infinite Engine: info depth 0 score mate 0 Scid : stop Scid : isready Engine: readyok Scid : position fen 4k3/8/4K2Q/8/8/8/8/8 w - - 3 8 moves h6h8 Scid : go infinite Engine: bestmove (none) Note: Engine terminated without warning. Note: Engine terminated without exit code: "\"$standard_error\"" Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated! ------------ Regards, Alex ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
