I set up a position on GNUchess(as downloaded with winboard): WK@f4 
WQ@h1 BK@h3 BP@h2 (black moves first). The move should be Kh4(forced) 
then I(white) play QxP mate. but the machine didn't move anything and 
said it was my turn! it said it's move was g3g2 what the heck is that? 
nothing was on g3. I did QxP+ anyway, and it did another of those weird 
moves and left it's K in check! I took the K and it somehow took my 
queen(even though my King and Queen were the only pieces left, which is 
strange in itself) and said it was a draw! what the???
