Well, as others said castling and ep are the hardest ones in move gen (not
impossible of course). But my point really was (which I didn't state very
clearly, though) that Dario's message had nothing but "lol" as subject line and
the pgn as message. Not too funny in my opinion... But if you consider that
Anand would have played Qxe8# from initial position in KO championships... Yep,
that's funny!
