That's great.

So if i disagree with any move of DIEP in the future i simply do not make it at
the board and it can search on for an alternative until i like one and play it
over the board.

For example i disagreed bigtime with Bxf4 against Rebel.

Nice to know that your interpretation is the opposite of the ICGA at the world
champs as it allows the operator more now to influence the game by simply
disagreeing with a move.

All i have to do now is make a small window choice: "did you execute the move on
the board?"

If the answer is: "no i didn't execute it".

then printf("so i will spend more time and perhaps i'll play a better move!\n");
