  Hello,
I agree with you and I admit I am a privileged user because my PC is connected
to a HIFI system. If I am not sure of a move, I can check quickly looking
at the screen. If you want to play real speed chess, this system
is not perfect, but I am not strong enough to have fun with this kind
of exercise against a strong program :-)

You're right again, Queen still detects the board position, but does not
register the moves. But with Junior's interface (use infinite analysis for
instance)the move list is still ok even if you remove a lot of pieces on the
board and put them in their right place again.

  Best regards,
