I am working on chess.c for Unix, the one that starts like this:
/*
C source for CHESS Rev. 3-10-87
Written by John Stanback (hplabs!hpfcla!hpisla!hpltca!jhs)
Patches for BSD Unix by Rich Salz (rs@mirror.TMC.COM) - 5/3/87
and Bill Randle (billr@tekred.TEK.COM) - 5/22/87
*/
I think there is a bug in this program; perhaps someone could comfirm
this. The program will not let you castle sometimes when you should
be allowed to.
For example, try this:
Make the file chess.opn read like this
Alekine Defense
e2e4 g8f6
e4e5 f6d5
c2c4 d5b6
d2d4 d7d6
f2f4 d6e5
f4e5 b8c6
c1e3 c8f5
b1c3 e7e6
g1f3 f8e7
f1d3 o-o
!
With this being the only opening line in the book, you can proceed with
white as follows
d3f5 b6c4 <-- on level 1, computer will probably play this
f5h7 g8h8
d1d3 c4e3
d3e3 h8h7
o-o
except that chess will not let you play o-o.
Any comments?
