>Winboard engines that run under the winboard interface and not the chessbase >interface can also participate without knowing to detect illegal positions. Yes they can, in which case it should be prerequisite that all engines must understand the rules under standalone conditions before they can enter. Each engine should and must have a console mode i.e. a way to prove that it understands the rules of chess. I say it again, as it stands the chessbase format engines do not have to do these checks. They are not chess engines because they do not have inside the engine an implementation of the rules of chess. They are playing another quite different game. Besides that you have to know that a commercial company like Chessbase will stop at nothing to have a title attached to one of their supposed "chess engines". They want your cash it is that simple. It is corrupt to cheat. Christopher
