Hi Eric,

Thanks good work. I showed the Rhd8 (wiki H8 Bug report) as an example and I know the move itself results in 0.00 so little impact really. I think however if you search games or past posts, there are examples as well where the instant Rook move created a loss of game situation.

That is what I am trying to say that if you figure out the conditions ie backrow empty and piece on h8 you can create the condition with far more pieces on the board and manipulate wins or losses.

We used to play these games, particularly Micha and I, and I remember several games where when we played and the H8 bug happened with Cosmos and there were maybe just 20 moves played. It does not just happen near end game. It just needs a condition that kicks it off. I played the Cosmos a lot because Micha managed to speed mine up so it could compete against high level computers. So, there were loads of games and the H8 happened quite a few times.

regards

Nick
