Small bug

If black plays 49...Kf5 the position repeats. Some engines give this as a 0.00.
I thought stockfish 8 solved all these problems. I think it only should give 0.00 when the position has occured 3 times. otherwise it's still winning, some people (including me) like to repeat the position to gain some extra time (when increment is included of course). That wasn't the case though in this game, but still....

I heard that they made a patch specifically for lichess analysis. In real play it's good to have it that way since if you calculate ahead and repeat moves you can stop calculating that variation, so it really only matters for human play.
But Stockfish 8 is already many months old so the new patch likely is not yet in there.
ah yes, that of course could be and probebly is the reason MoistvonLipwig. But if it has already been calculated a move before, shouldn't it be in your memory and also been given to the repeated move? But I guess that's something the stockfish developers will have to take a look at.
@PegasusPony Game analysis are always made starting from last move, and then going through the game in reverse order so that doesn't apply there.
Also, it is not the same position, the positions which are transpositions to earlier game positions are different (more) now, also the 50 moves rule is not as far away anymore. (most of the time not a big deal but should certainly not be forgotten)
