Hmmm... my idea is interesting, but it needs some work. And sometimes engines throw up misconceived Mate lines too: 5R1k/8/7B/4p2p/pq6/4N3/6R1/6K1 b - - 5 56 1 [+5.21] 56. ... Kh7 (0.00) 2 [M2] 56. ... Kh7 57. Rg7+ Kxh6 58. Nf5# (0.01) 2 [+11.79] 56. ... Qxf8 57. Bxf8 h4 58. Kh2 h3 59. Kxh

Hmmm. I'm not so sure about the analysis changes and near mate positions - the patch seems to perform worse than before. Try this position 2Q1qk1r/2p5/8/8/8/6P1/6K1/5R2 b - - 0 5 , bring up stockfish and press "add move" till the end. --

No problems here :> One thing that still needs fixing is the engine sending multiple "mate in 3", "mate in 2"... lines for every depth. There's probably multiple ways to approach this, but which is best ?? S. -

Hi Fulvio, What a thoughtful and wide-ranging patch. I hope it gets tested and approved quickly. The mailing list software removed your attachement. Is there somewhere else I can get it to test it for you? Cheers, Steve -

This patch fixes different issues to improve scid's responsiveness. To test it open a "tree window", an "analysis engine" and move very fast in a game with keyboard arrows or mouse wheel (if you always have a tree window and an engine running, like me, you're gonna love this patch). Please try
