Yes, I curse everytime I see it playing stupid Kf8 or Kf1. Usually when bishop
has moved, but the knight has not. I know how to fix this but the worst thing is
that I can program only 1-2 days a week. I will get my own computer tomorrow
(it's AMD K6/500Mhz, 19" monitor...only 250 euros!!), but before I've been able
to program only at my mother's in a different town :( Well, actually I can
program anytime I want, but I can compile only at weekends or so...

It should be bugless, so could you post a debug file from WB to me when you see
this happening. It definitely should not be happening anymore...

Soon there won't be anything that can stop Requiem :)
