Just tried your FEN 1rb2rk1/p1q1bppp/1pnppn2/2p5/3PP3/2P2NP1/PP1N1PBP/R1BQR1K1 w KQkq - 1 10 bm e4e5; and it is indeed reproducable with quite a number of engines :( I tried ok: Shredder 9 ok: DeepShredder 11, 12 ok: Crafty 23.0 ok: Toga II 1.3.1 no: Homer 2.01 no: Fruit 2.3.1 no: Glaurung 2.2 no: Stockfish 1.6.2 no: Robolito 0.085f1 There is something funny going on here, however, if I just use the bare engine. I did not send any engine parameters, just fired up the engine, issued uci, isready and postion command, and, if I came to that the go infinite.

So, indeed the engines crash. <utterly confused> I'd have some understanding for a hot needle engine such as robolito seems to be one, but Fruit 2.3.1 confuses me. Still, I fear this is no problem of Scids. I'll keep digging, but maybe we've an expert here who has an idea what's going on? -- Kind regards, / War is Peace. | Freedom is Slavery.
