Of the engines I have running under Fritz, the following handle this
easily: Crafty 16.1, Crafty 16.6, LGGold 2.0, Doctor?3.0, and a couple
versions of Comet.  Exchess 2.50 and 2.51 have no clue, and neither does
Fritz 5.32, which is sad as Fritz is one of the top programs.  So why
is Fritz being stupid again??
