Hi, I wonder if this is the right place to gripe about gnuchess ? In any case here goes.. I picked up gnuchess (and the accompanying gnuchessr and others) from prep about a month ago .. And have been very happy with it . However, today, gnuchess played a move which (I think) is not legal? It all boils down to .. Is one allowed to castle across the line of control of an oppponents force ? My li'l knowledge of chess says, NO .. If that is correct then gnuchess does not seem to follow the rules (Of course if my knowledge of chess itself is at fault, please do let me know!) I am including a game with gnuchess playing black and as you can see, it castled through the bishops line of control ? Hmm.. i wonder if the rules aren;t what they seem to be >? thanks tarun soni tsoni@ucsd.edu ........................................................
