Threatened Pawn Chess. Pawns start in threatened positions. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

At a search depth of 19, ChessV thinks white is up by a pawn and a quarter.  It actually playes d3e4, not e5f6.

The start of the PV is: d3e4 d6e5 d1d8 e8d8 f1c4 h6g5 c5b6 g4f3 a1a4 c8d7 c4b5 a8a6 ...

c4b5 is a blunder.  I'm concerned with it making a blunder in the PV at ply 11 when it has completed a depth 19 search.  Seems I have a problem somewhere, maybe in the transposition table.

But back to the original position - Stockfish 9 to a depth of 28 thinks white is up by a pawn and a half and likes e5f6 as the best move.  e5f6 g8f6 h3g4 e4d3 g5f6 d8f6 a1a4 b6b5 a4a2 b8c6 c1b2 fge7 h8g8
