It would be nonsensical to give much thought to "freezing" things in the middle of a move. En Passant would be interesting, for example. Freeze with the capturing pawn up. With it down but the captured pawn also still on the board? I doubt Steven is going to include such nonsense in the EPD standard. :) > > >> >>-- >>GCP
