'Human vs. engine play is virtually untested. 
Did you at any point of the game use 'undo'
(through the WinBoard 'retract move')?'

Yes.
Many of us error-prone humans use it frequently.

'This is indeed something I should fix but
the current work-around would be not to use 'undo'.'

Makes sense to me.
I can avoid using the 'retract move' command altogether.

'I could make a Joker80 version that reads the piece base values from a
file 'joker.ini' at startup. Then you could change them to anything you
want to test, without the need to re-compile. Would that satisfy your
needs?'

Yes, better than I ever imagined.
Thank you!
