Quite frankly, the last program I remember to support this was Mchess 7.1. I
didn't buy Mchess 8 so I can only presume it did too. Your comment on the
special castling is interesting, and I now wonder whether it had special engine
features covering those. Possibly it does but I'd have to re-install it to
verify this.
