Game Review Bug? ... Answer NO! Forced moves not categorised.

Just finished a Daily game and reviewed as usual at depth 18. White resigned on what would have been the 66th move, hence a 65 move game.

For some reason something made me add up the moves categorised.

Unless I'm much mistaken, white's moves add up to 63, black's 65.

Might be a one off glitch, or could have been going on forever, frankly, I never counted up before. Anyone else noticed this?

I ran review again at a different depth (30), slightly different move categorisations and accuracy numbers as you would expect, but same error, white just had 63 moves. 

Shurely shum mishtake?

Hmm, and another one from a game played about 10 days ago and the member said instead of M7 review was showing -311. So not a one-off it would seem.

 

Am I posting bug reports in the right place, @Martin_Stahl? Because I cannot for the life of me figure out how to open a new 'Activity' thread in the Beta Forum section.

Forced king moves are not categorised.

I'm asking but @KingMoored may be correct. It may have been posted somewhere in the past, but I'm not recalling it

I'm not sure, but I think promotions are not categorised.

Found out that currently, no forced moves are categorized.

Nevermind, it looks like promotions are categorised.

Ah, good. Got to the bottom of that one then. Thanks for the responses.

You can see why having noticed the apparent discrepancy it was worth checking. I imagine others will notice this from time to time. A 'Forced' category or a note added (much like the en-passant note is always added, rather superfluously I always think) would avoid any future reports. Just a thought.

There are plans to change forced moves to best but it may be a while before that happens.

A forced King move a Best Move? I had to think about that one for a minute.

At first it seems you really have no choice in a forced move, it is your only move, or you can resign the game. So I guess a forced move is your Best Move.

There are forced moves in positions you may be equal or better.
