Hi Chris,
I see that without kings on the board I can get the same result with less
nodes... will try that in Kiwi 0.6c! :-)

P.S. I know Kiwi is really bad at input checking, but so far the new engine I'm
working at has correctly refused all of your invalid positions, so there's hope
for the future! ;-)
