That error means actually division by zero. The reason is a bug in Borland's
TP7's Crt unit. On my latest program's I have used a small assembler fix code
to correct the bug, but Insane was programmed before I got it. On fast
computers it'll crash. :-(  (Sometimes it may run.)

I'm going to fix this Insane-problem in near future.

Ps. How about a new chess variation, where pieces would change to another
pieces not randomly, but following strict rules? E.g. Pawn always changes
to knight after it has been moved. knight->bishop, bishop->rook, ...,
queen->pawn.
