Can you then make a legal position with more than 255 pseudo legal moves?

So do I, basicly. However I'm not selling the program, so I don't feel obligated to protect it 100% from user abuse :) There is a protocol for the communication, right now I'm happy with just supporting that. I think there is pretty good safety build into it actually. >>Yes, I do have some checks on the FEN, but I have not accounted for every >>possible broken fen possible. > >That is not necessary.
