Why Post illegal positions knowing a Program is designed to >evaluate only legal positions? Just curious.. A program that accepts something as input, should produce some sort of output. That is a avery important rule, not only for computer chess. If the program cannot handle the position, it should not accept it and warn the user. If it is true what Uri describes, it is a behavior that should be fixed. It might not be of very high priority, but that does not mean that it should be taken as a normal behavior. Miguel
