Answers.Text: The fact that the engine suddenly says that white is winning once 10....Kd6 is played, is a strong indication that it's a classical repetition issue. 10....Kd6 could be the second occurence only. In such a case, as far as I know, it doesn't matter if the line itself is winning or not.

Answers.Text: I'm not saying you're wrong, you could be right! However, the app should have shown a three repetition message if 10...Kd6 was indeed the drawing move. I don't know! We're both guessing!!

Answers.Text: Does the app have a "Setup position" feature? If so, you could try analyzing that position again, with black to move. If the engine says that white is winning, at least we could be certain that it is not a bug.

  Has the position after 10....Kd6 occurred earlier in this game? If yes, the engine thinks it's a repetition and shows "0.00".
  
  More information on the repetition issue can be found on [this thread on TalkChess](http://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=50855&start=40#p552541), a forum dedicated to computer chess.
