FG>The computers move is legal. The rule about castling not being legal FG>if a square under control of an opposing piece is crossed over aplies FG>to the king only. It is quite legal, as in this case to castle queen FG>side even though the rook passes over a square (here it is b8) FG>controlled by the opposing bishop. It would be illegal if the bishop FG>controlled d8 since the KING passes through that square. Nothing to be embarrassed about here. In a world championship match, Boris Spassky once got so flustered that he had to ask the arbiter whether a move as described was legal. --- � SLMR 2.0 � Backup not found: (A)bort (R)etry (P)anic -- Executive Network Information System (914) 667-4567 International ILink Host
