Subject: Using Perft to debug a Move Generator?

Author: Steve Maughan

I'm currently using Peter McKenzie's excellent PERFT resource to debug the new
Monarch move generation routines.  Needless to say my number's do not aggree
with Peter's - I clearly have a couple of bugs.  What I'd like to do is use a
program like YACE or Delfi which have Perft routines to narrow the search for
the bugs i.e. look at the subtrees of the positions on Peter's page and narrow
the bugs down.

So the question is what's the easiest way of setting up a position and running
Perft?  Do any of the GUIs support ad-hoc commands?

Thanks,

Steve
