I understand the problem now (not sure what I was thinking seven years ago...). The initial eval changes the player on roll.

After that, the save and reload in the initial report or the second eval in the last comment refresh the moves list and make the issue more visible than the change of the arrow indicating who is on roll, but at this point the moves list is already corrupted.

I believe I encountered the same bug as this one. I wanted to attach a file to demonstrate it.

Open the file, click on the double decision, then click twice on the 0-ply eval (or any eval). You'll see at the top that the double goes into the gnubg column, and at the bottom that the eval value changes dramatically.

Just to clarify why doing a rollout BEFORE saving a position is often undesirable, if you've missed a double and want to pose the position as a cube decision, you must first remove the dice and substitute a double.  Since this destroys the rollout information you must save it first and then do a rollout, but this no longer works properly.

Here's something interesting - the bug affects EVERY position where I've doubled but NONE of the positions where GNUBG doubles.  Anyway, here are the workarounds for this. 

For your take decisions, save the bot's double decision; you can later roll this out without any complications.

For your doubles or bad bot take decisions, save the GAME.  When you later roll it out, it will work fine and you can then save the position.

And naturally you can always roll the decision out BEFORE doing any saving, although this isn't always desirable.

Were my emails enough to clarify the problem?  Here's the short version:

I can reproduce this problem most simply by saving ANY position where I've doubled and then opening it and clicking the evaluate button for any level (or do a rollout).  When you then save it and reopen it the wrong player is shown on move (with the weaker position doubling) with the game record agreeing with this oddity.  When you then click on the double, "unknown cube decision" appears.

I can't reproduce this. Are the checkers upside down or is the wrong player on roll ? What do you mean by evaluate ? Is it using the Hint button (that's what I did), or Analyse|Evaluate, or Analyse|Analyse match or session ?

Could you attach the sgf files (evaluated and non-evaluated).

Save a cube decision as a position.  Open it, evaluate it as 4-ply, then save it.  Open it again and the position has been "flipped" (and not in a way that has any kind of workaround).
