Yes, most amateur wb-engines is actually made for human input :) with all error in writing. I guess The King wasn't meant to be used outside CM. When you check take a look at the SAN too. I don't know if you have anything wrong there but I had a bug in it. I did send FIDE's standard moves instead of the right pgn-standard. There is some differences (g8Q -> g8=Q). Odd Gunnar
