Stockfish Engine Fails?

I checked the analysis to see if I could force a draw with white. To my surprise, the engine couldn't even recognize whose move it was!

Here's the full game if you'd like:

There's a known bug with that for how the eval bar and lines show. It's not a Stockfish bug but an analysis code issue.

A bad bug.

On the other hand, it is kinda unfair to put in a position where there's nothing to analyze. If white is to play, the game has already ended.

Well, the real Stockfish instantly notices what's up, and writes "Draw: white is stalemated".

Chess.com's engine however is completely confused and starts to give phantom lines with nonsensical moves.

Ok, I took a closer look, and I don't see a way to pause analysis. I just thought it was something out of sync. The SCID program I use allows me to start and stop the analysis, but I only see turning it off removes all analysis and doesn't keep it visible.

I don't know what this SCID is, but if it works as you described, you should throw it away.

There are many free GUI programs that run Stockfish, I use Tarrasch GUI.

The engine of course can't guess who is to move (or did you mean something else?). In the position you posted, it could be White to move, hence stalemate, or Black to move (an easy win). When you feed an engine with a position, it's on you to tell it who's move it is.

The game PGN presents the side to move to the engine.

Tried it and got the same error. Just chess.com being chess.com.

I admit that I don't understand you 100%.

Is it possible that you are talking about Game Review, and not Analysis? Or else there is a weird bug there.

magipi

I never had an inclination to analyze two games simultaneously. I also don't see how this connects to the current topic. A moment ago you were talking about "stop and start the analysis", and now this is something completely different. Maybe it's just me being slow.

magipi

No need for you to get rude. I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I am out of here. Bye.

A weak bottomhole just spoke.

Obvious thing, some lads have it a share of cake missing in their head, when blattant two tier attitude along with ridiculous arrogance strikes in between their neuronal links.

No, I am talking about Analysis. Go to Learn, Analysis. There you get a board and can put in moves. If I want to compare Berlin with Old Steintiz for example. I can't see them side by side. I could do it in another program and then paste the .pgn, but how to do it right from the site? You can't from what I see. Here are two pictures to show. The firat has 2 boards and 2 variations. The second picture has 1 board with 2 variations. I don't know how else to simplify this.
