★★☆☆☆
ENDGAME GLITCH. The below game is a bullet match that ended after whites 37th move. I wanted to see if Black had perpetual, so asked Texel to play on in Analysis This. After whites Queen promotion Texel could no longer calculate. 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nf3 d5 4. Nc3 Bg7 5. Bf4 O-O 6. e3 c5 7. Rc1 Nc6 8. Be2 cxd4 9. exd4 dxc4 10. Bxc4 Bg4 11. d5 Nb4 12. a3 Bxf3 13.

Kg1 Bxb4 41. e8=Q I set up some well known endgame positions for Texel as well for the sake of testing. Rook King vs King and Queen King vs King Texel was fine. However Bishop Knight King vs King and Texel again could not compute. However Texel in the driodfish app, given the same positions did not have any problems. 1 Star rating is only to bring this problem to developers attention. Thank you still for releasing this engine, and the work you have put into Driodfish, everyone in the chess community is indebted to you. Many thanks.
