Analysis board is drunk again! King vs King ending

Sort:
Luckystranger98

After the last game I played I wanted to analyze the game and .... one of the funniest things ever happened!!

In the last moves of the endgame I wanted to check the engine suggested line and... it traded the last pawns and started moving the kings (without any other piece left) around randomly!!!!surprise.png

How could a bug like this happen?

Because it is programmed to try and find the best move, no matter how idiotic the position.

I suppose they could program it to say something snarky. Would you prefer that?

Doesn't it recognize it's a draw due to insufficient material?
