Prospective buyers of XG's IPR should know this

XG is prone to certain irreproducible errors, as exemplified by these screenshots. Every now and then, this happens to me when I select "Analyze session" after playing a match.

Example 1

Example 2

Example 3

There are also some reproducible bugs. Here's one associated with the "Swap board" feature that has caused me headaches over the years, which you can try yourself.

1. Start up XG, and click on "No Action."

2. Paste in the XGID for some match position, e.g., XGID=bBCBBBB-A----------bdbcbA-:0:0:1:00:4:0:0:7:10

3. Click on one of the evaluation buttons in the bottom left-hand corner of the window (such as the XGR+ button, but it doesn't matter which one).

4. Go to the Setup menu, and select "Swap board". This will swap the top and bottom players.

5. Click on the radio button next to "Unlimited games" underneath the board. Observe that XG does not switch to an unlimited game.
