Not a problem. My biggest problem is that I do king safety in two places,
one for the real scoring, the other for handling the castling issue. And I
often change the first one, and totally forget about the last place. And
the castling stuff then goes bananas...
I usually try to check this out, but I certainly had it in an early 17.x
version. I don't think I do now, but won't make any proclamation to that
effect until I have looked at the code carefully. :)
