Subject: Underpromtion Test Position

Author: Brian Richardson

Tinker ran into the following against Redbear the other day:

[D]8/3b1P2/8/4n3/3k1KP1/8/8/8 w - -

Tinker moved f8 "thinking" f8=N to avoid the fork ng6, but "forgot" to
specifically mention the promotion piece, so the move f8=Q was made (in Winboard
and by ICS).  This created errors and Tinker lost the game.  This is the first
time in close to 1,500 games on ICS that an underpromotion has come up.

Just thought I would post it so others can check their programs too...
