> No, "show escape" gives an indirect answer (if it isn't mate).

Hmm.  I tried that, but I've seen it give more than zero escape moves
even when I'm not in check.  Was it reporting based on some other
state than the board was currently in, perhaps due to pondering?

> "show moves" should list legal moves.

It does, but they're in SAN and they're not disambiguated.  (Same goes
for the "hint" command.  Why not just use AN?  I guess this has been
brought up before, though, so I'll shut up now.)
