Do you honestly think that a programmer will spend time trying to fix the kinds of bugs that you are reporting, that come from situations that are either 100% unlikely to happen in a real game or are illegal, rather than fix/improve his engine's ability to simply "play chess"? Your comment "These kinds of position are extremely useful" seems to only be true for you. jm p.s. If an engine writer has actually bothered to fix any of these kinds of issues that Chris has reported, please feel free to reply. I would, once again, be intrigued....
