And I guess I was wrong, Phalanx will display the board right after you put a FEN position in. So I don't know what I was doing diferently earlier today. And Phalanx will also allow you to use ept positions and I think dispite the face that it mentions FEN, I think EPT (which you have a load of already) works better without any arguement Pete
