Nop, actually position validation can be made only when the engine receives the
position... and it does not happens when playing a game.

Wrong, rule validation are made only made when the engine receives a position
(which it's not done in regular games) and when the engine receives an
instruction to make a move (wich it's just a search in the move list).
