Slow to mate in KQK endgame #17

Open bobrinch opened 11 years ago

Hi again

I created an issue two weeks ago about IE being way to slow (20-30 moves) to mate in an endgame where opponent has queen+king against my single king.

Looking more into this, I can see that it is actually a general problem and not as such related to IE in particular. I have tryed the scenario in IE, Chrome and Firefox - even your Silverlight client with a C# engine. Same problem in all of them.

It keeps moving the queen back and forth 20-30 times until it kind of "wakes up" and set mate.

Hope you will look into this.

Cheers Bo.

Same problem if it is my lonely king against computers king+rook.

Cheers Bo.
