Perhaps you forgot to set the castle-flags in the setupwindow? Try >my FRC-positions, you can download them from my homepage >(http://www.frc-list.beep.de). > >Castle on! Stefan Pohl Ok, I didn't know that you were only using FRC positions in which both the king and the rooks were in their original positions. Then, of course, The King will know how to castle. If you use any positions where the king is NOT on the e-file, then the engine will never castle. jm
