I just got this compiled - it seems to get confused in a variety of
ways when one of us has to castle - particularly queenside - about 25%
of the time.  Has anyone seen this before?  I'm not sure whether the
bug is in gnuchess or in the xboard interface.  Fixes appreciated - I'd
rather spend my time doing something interesting like typing in opening
lines.

I've been using "gnuchessr" to practise my blindfold chess.  Scored my
first win against it yesterday - at 40/10 on a SUN 4/600.  I'm about
2050 USCF and probably a class F blindfold player, which makes me *really*
suspicious of rating estimates in the 2300's.  (Ok, so I had to peek to
find the mating combo, but still ...)  Comments?  The program seems ok
tactically, but it has no positional "understanding" whatsoever.
