Ok, thanks. It is a bug in Yace, not only in UCI mode. In UCI mode, yace will
not verify the position at all (which at some time was done on purpose). In WB
or console mode it will verify it and print an error message, but that is
all :-( It will still accept the pos. I had written an extensive verification
routine, and for some reason, the engine ignores the error. Perhaps because it
was too picky, and I wanted to try some illegal positions on purpose. It
complains for example about positions where number of queens + number of pawns
for one side > 9. I'll fix it.

Dieter
