Re: [Bug-XBoard] [bug #8847] Moving backward while examining on FICS not reported to engine

[h.g. muller]

I found this code in
parse_board12():

    /* [DM] If we found takebacks during icsEngineAnalyze
try send to engine */
    if (!newGame && appData.icsEngineAnalyze
&& moveNum < forwardMostMove) {
        takeback = forwardMostMove -
moveNum;
        for (i = 0; i < takeback;
i++) {
            
if (appData.debugMode) fprintf(debugFP, "take back
move\n");
            
SendToProgram("undo\n", &first);
        }
    }

This seems aimed at fixing the reported problem, so it seems Daniel
has been working on it already. I don't see any flaws in the code;
(well, perhaps if the number of undos was very large, it would make
more sense to start a new game and load it from the begining...),
so if the problem occurs despite of it, it must be because the ICS
does not send a board.
