Mate in 1 move time issues #16

Open CMCanavessi opened 3 years ago

CMCanavessi commented 3 years ago

I am testing Loki (versions 1.2.0 and 2.0.0 both seem to have the same problem) and when Loki is about to win a game with next move (mate in 1) it takes a lot of time and sometimes it loses on time because of that. It also happens that Loki wastes a lot of time in mate in 2, but the problem is more noticeable with mate in 1s. My time control is 1m + 1s and I use Arena.

I have just tested Loki version 2.0.0 with a couple of simple mate in 1 and 2 positions and I don't get the problem. I have tried with "go movetime" and "go wtime/btime", but I'll try with increment too. Do you have an FEN of a position where this happens?

I just started a trip and I'll be back home in about 2 weeks. I'll send you more info when I'm back home.
