Hi,

I played a few minutes with Polyglot and configured Toga 1.2.1a to be
handled as a xboard engine. In this position

r7/p1p2pk1/1p6/4qpp1/2PP4/P3R3/2P3PP/6K1 w KQkq - 0 1

where the queen must be recaptured (!) I get this output :

Depth:       12      Nodes:   9106K (765 kn/s)
Score:   -99.88      Time:     11.91 seconds
Rf3 Qxd4+ Kf1 Qd1+ Kf2 Re8 Rxf5 Qe1+ Kf3 Re3+ Kg4 Qh4#

I checked with other xboard engines (Crafty, Phalanx) and they capture the
queen ...  Of course all UCI engines work well. So using Polyglot I get an
error : I would personaly avoid this protocol interface ;-)

Using Toga UCI and Toga with Polyglot gives different results, and the
output from Toga UCI is very close to Rybka's where outputs with Polyglot
are really different and *seems* inferior (I did not do much research).
I don't know where lies the problem between UCI / xboard / Polyglot, but I
tend to think the bug is not in Scid's code and that Polyglot should be
avoided (as it is useless with Scid now).
