Thanks Alessandro!
Strange that I found something exactly a few hours ago
I guess though this was there since long and may be even
since always in WB.
It is likely also a prob with the output of the engine,
(not quite sure as it works partly)
I noticed that SSEChess' output isn't read correctly for
both the thinking line output in WB itself _and_ in the
PGN files with depth/score.
It reports PVs and depths for both which are not the _real_
depths/scores reached according to the debug file!
Somehow the reported output is always at a less depth
as SSEChess really had during thinking.
That was the reason I noticed it at all, because I wondered
about the low reported depths.
Below I have posted two different PGNs for the same game.
The first one is the original PGN saved by WB and the second
one is extracted from the debug file by LGDEBPGN.
You can see the differences for SSEChess.
Ah! After posting also two thinking examples from the debug
it seems I know the reason already
If I am right the problem is that SSEChess sometimes reports
the time not as integers but as floating points with one digit!
I don't know right now what the protocol says and leave it to you,
if this is something which should be changed/fixed in WB
At least I know it won't be fixed anymore in SSEChess.
Best wishes,
Guenther
