#132 Promote to mainline goes crazy if not applied to first move

[Bruno Rizzuti]

If Promote to mainline is applied to, say, 1. e4 e5 2. f4 (2. Nf3 Nc6 ) in correspondence with Nc6, it produces the following mainline: 1. e4 e5 2. Nc6.

[Bruno Rizzuti]

The bug is solved with commit #978.

Please note, however, that "promote to mainline" should be better called "promote to main variation". For instance:

1. e4 e5 2. f4 (2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 (3. Bc4 Nf6 ))

Applying "promote to mainline" to Nf6 yields to:

1. e4 e5 2. f4 (2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 (3. Bb5 ) 3... Nf6 )

and one has to apply it once more to Nf6 to obtain that this move is really mainline:

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 (2. f4 ) 2... Nc6 3. Bc4 (3. Bb5 ) 3... Nf6

Is this intended behavior?

Should be fixed in SVN.

[Bruno Rizzuti]

Yes, the bug in itself is solved. You can close the bug report, provided that "mainline" is really intended as "upper variation" (which is not necessarily mainline).
