Can you tell me why it is so hard for a programmer who knows what they are doing. Is it so hard to be able to code in their engine, that a side already in check from a piece that could not have got to that square to give check is illegal? I don't believe it. The beauty of true standalone chess engines (exe's) is that you don't need a GUI to play them or for that matter to implement the rules. Think about it this way. Do you think that the Fritz interface is optimised for the Fritz engine? How much is the engine and how much is the GUI? Guess......or find out. I have found out so far as I am concerned, or at the very least have a very good idea how much. Did anyone ever check the GUI? No? Is that part of the engine? Yes? Do you know what a GUI could do if allowed to help the engine not just with rules but anything else that you could imagine? So is it just Fritz or is it Fritz and the GUI? I think the world championship should take place in console mode. No joke, plain old stoic console mode. Who do think would be champion then Uri? The engines that I stated earlier perform when in illegal positions. They should not do this. Nor should anyone else's, but all data is welcome. ;-) Christopher Nice position by the way. The out put from that one is very distinct. Few moves, very nice.
