My program will send an illegal move after the game is over (I'm fixing the
bug), but Winboard still passes it on to the other program, leaving it to figure
out what happened. Perhaps play a match against a program (like Crafty) that
avoids sending illegal moves after the game ends? I don't know if this will
help, but maybe it is worth a try.
