I am amazed that no one has ever sent feedback on this nicely implemented game that has been available for some time at VersionTracker. It is good practice for chess fans and its interface is logically, friendly and wisely planned.
The application, nevertheless, seems not to be able to learn from its errors. I have found that it will usually produce the same series of moves in a certain Queen's Pawn game in which it makes a disastrous mistake in move 21st. Here is the sequence:

1. d2-d4 d7-d5 2. Ng1-f3 Ng8-f6 3. g2-g3 e7-e6 4. Bf1-g2 Bf8-d6 5. Qd1-d3 0-0 6. Nb1-c3 c7-c5 7. d4xc5 Bd6xc5 8. e2-e4 Nf6xe4 9. Nc3xe4 d5xe4 10. Qd3xe4 Nb8-c6 11. a2-a3 Bc8-d7 12. Bc1-e3 Bc5xe3 13. Qe4xe3 b7-b5 14. 0-0-0 Ra8-b8 15. Nf3-e5 Nc6xe5 16. Qe3xe5 Rb8-c8 17. Rd1-d6 Qd8-c7 18. c2-c3 f7-f6 19. Qe5-d4 e6-e5 20. Qd4-d3 Rc8-d8 21. Rh1-d1 <b>Rf8-f7</b> 22. Bg2-d5 Bd7-e6 23. Bd5xe6 Rd8xd6 24. Qd3xd6 Qc7xd6 25. Rd1xd6 Kg8-f8 26. Be6xf7 Kf8xf7 27. Rd6-d7+ ...etc.
