Well, most do, positions like this don't happen in regular games. (As Cesar
wrote: it's not a "valid" chess position, so it's not chess.) And then, if
the user chooses to feed in some odd position, why would the program have to
reject it? "User-knows-best", "Customer's king" , even if he doesn't add his
king.
