I disagree. There are far too many exceptions, so it is useless to define them and to solve them. Better play 80% of the game well, than trying to define and solve the other 20%. And yes, that will damage the program's strength. Your reasoning is simply too easy, because you cannot define all exceptions to the rules. If one programmer will try that, he will not succeed in doing so in 1,000,000 years. So the reason programmers are not paying attention to these exceptions: It is useless, there are too many of them. And using 90% of your time because of 0,00001% of the positions that are exceptions, is not a good thing to do. Jeroen
