a) that simply is a cosmetic problem, thus absolutely irrelevant;
b) there have to exist at least three equal colored rooks before, two of
   them unmoved, and the opponent must have tolerated a promotion without
   ever having moved one of his rooks and king - this all is very unrealistic;
c) that part of X-FEN could be easily changed, because less than 1/1000000 po-
   sitions are affected and NO starting array. But SMK refuted that compromise;
d) X-FEN has no nasty problem with compatibility.
