       Who can be sure of that? To include unnecessary code in
       a very complex chess program increases the possibility
       that at some time strange things may happen. BTW, you
       seem to have omitted my -:)

      This has in my opinion nothing to do with the implementation
      of FRC code. In future I would prefer to have the choice
      between classical chess engine and FRC-engine.
