           Summary: Solver falsely claims unsolvable and lost games

Game state of the allegedly not winnable game

SUMMARY
The solver is a cool feature. It would be way cooler, if it would not tag
actually solvable games as "not winnable" or "lost".

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set the game number to the two example game numbers provided in the screen
shots.
2. Reproduce the game situation.
3. Play along the solution path sketched out by the screen shot.

In contrast to the solver claiming both games either "not winnable" (the first
one) or even "lost" (the 2nd one), both are winnable.

OBSERVED RESULT
Solver claims the given examples to be either "not winnable" or even "lost",
despite them being clearly winnable.

While for the allegedly "not winnable" game at least the game could be stored
as "*.kpat" (provided), for the allegedly "lost" game saving the game state is
even not possible anymore.

EXPECTED RESULT
Correct classifications or at least not preventing the user from saving the
game …
