    to promote to a queen use (e.g.) h7h8q
    under-promotion e.g. a7a8b (bishop)

    The following (slightly modified) EditBoard routine will enable you to
    delete an individual piece. e.g. use 'xa1' to delete the piece at a1.

void
EditBoard()
/*
 * Set up a board position. Pieces are entered by typing the piece followed
 * by the location. For example, Nf3 will place a knight on square f3.
 */
{
    short a, r, c, sq, i;
    char s[80];

    ClrScreen();
    UpdateDisplay(0, 0, 1, 0);
    printz(".   exit to main\n");
    printz("#   clear board\n");
    printz("c   change sides\n");
    printz("enter piece & location: \n");

    a = white;
    do {
	scanz("%s", s);
	if (s[0] == '#')
	    for (sq = 0; sq < 64; sq++) {
		board[sq] = no_piece;
		color[sq] = neutral;
	    }
	if (s[0] == 'c' || s[0] == 'C')
	    a = otherside[a];
	c = s[1] - 'a';
	r = s[2] - '1';
	if ((c >= 0) && (c < 8) && (r >= 0) && (r < 8)) {
	    sq = locn(r, c);
	    board[sq] = no_piece;
	    color[sq] = neutral;
	    for (i = no_piece; i <= king; i++)
		if ((s[0] == pxx[i]) || (s[0] == qxx[i])) {
		    board[sq] = i;
		    color[sq] = a;
		    break;
		}
	}
    } while (s[0] != '.');
    for (sq = 0; sq < 64; sq++)
	Mvboard[sq] = (board[sq] != Stboard[sq]) ? 10 : 0;
    GameCnt = 0;
    Game50 = 1;
    ZeroRPT();
    InitializeStats();
    ClrScreen();
    UpdateDisplay(0, 0, 1, 0);
} /* end of EditBoard */
