The move "h8q" was suggested, and it worked. I had tried "h8Q", since
upper case must be used to make moves. And now, a further bug :-).

After "h8q", I did "undo" to test the problem further. GnuChess still
considered the piece to be a Q, both visually and internally. Sorry to
be whining about bugs without first making an attempt to correct them,
but I'm almost completely knowledgeless in C.
