When running the program, I sometimes ran into two different division by zero problems, caused by the fact that ply_count = 0. My solution is that the minimum of the division with ply_count is 1, so a division by zero is not possible. I suppose it would be better to ensure that ply_count never is zero, but I'm not sure how hard that is as I haven't really looked into the problem.

Can you use the try / except syntax we discussed in #30 ? |

Now that I look at this I'm wondering if that just leads to divzero one level up in the stack. I'm also not sure how the old version of python-chess this is pinned to handles being told to analyze a position for 0 seconds. I'll test this more when I'm off work :) |
