This PR is an improvement upon #5805.
It fixes a bug each in #5414 and 4c4e104.
The problem in each case is that
is_draw()
has no knowledge of the UCI optionSyzygy50MoveRule
, and so its calls have to be guarded.An example position where the bug triggers is
7b/8/6b1/8/5Nk1/4K3/8/8 b - - 0 1
. I.e. master shows an evaluation ofcp 0
, while the patch correctly showscp 20000
.This PR also leads to correct PV extensions for cursed wins. Below the output of the corresponding matetrack check using the new
matecheck.py
script and the FEN collectioncursed.epd
from vondele/matetrack#130.No functional change.
