Hi,
I found a nuisance with stockfish 1.6.2 and Scid's analysis mode.
I analyzed the following beginners game:
1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nc6 3.Qh5 {Patzer} Nf6 4.Nf3 {Friend mode after all} h6
If stockfish meets the forced mate it will stop thinking at "depth =
100" and produce a "bestmove" rightaway. I found several resources on
the web that say that this is against the UCI "standard" after a "go
infinite" as Scid instructs the engine to do.
Scid on his part sends a "stop" after the thinking delay has expired.
stockfish - in idle state - quietly replies "Unknown command: stop".
Next, scid starts waiting for the engine's "bestmove" reaction on his
"stop" command. To no avail. And the analysis process is locked up.
I played the same scenario with Deep Shredder 11; this goes well in this
respect (I saw other problems that may or may not be related to some
local hacking that I did while looking for clues...)
What to do? Make Scid a bit smarter? Is my info on UCI aspects
correct/up-to-date?
Cheers,
Joost.
