Chess - brain dead?

I sat down to play a game of /NextDeveloper/Demos/Chess last night, and I  
noticed that the 2 human player feature seems to be broken.  The white  
player moves as normal, but the computer moves for black, even though  
black is set to be a human player.  When I tried to move a black piece, I  
got an "Illegal move" message, a couple of pawns disappeared, and my  
knights changed position.  

That was on a 3.0 machine.  I tried it this morning on a 2.2 machine and  
the same thing happened.  "This is not a Good Thing," I said.  Human vs.  
computer seems to work fine.

Please tell me that I'm missing something, and not that a big ol' bug has  
escaped 3 major revisions of NeXTSTEP.  Okay, maybe it's not important to  
everyone, but it's important to me.

James

There is a great discovery still to be made in Literature: that of
paying literary men by the quantity they do NOT write.
