I was playing gnuchess last night (60 moves in 15 minutes) and had worked a pawn down to become a queen. Well, gnuchess wouldn't let me make the move! It was h7h8. When I typed hint, thinking maybe I was missing something, it replied "try h7h8". Well, I tried that again, but it wouldn't make the damn move! Then, I switched players. Ie, black became the computer and I took over as white. It was the computers move and it moved h7h8 and got the damn queen. So I switched back and undid the move, thinking that if the computer could do it, I could do it. But the queen remained on the board and I couldn't undo the pawn's promotion. Well, I won the game, but it seemed rather an uncouth way to go about it. I don't recall the exact version number I have, but I got it around a year ago. Is there an updated version hanging about somewhere? Source would be nice... Email preferred. But I'll hang around here for any replies for a few days. -- -- rj pietkivitch att!ihlpz!rjp1
