Hello -
I am going to send you this transcript, with my mistakes left in. I am new to using this, so excuse my mistyping and not-so-good chess play.
The problem is in move 6, where it says I am doing an illegal move. I think it is saying that because I had done a king-side castle in move 5 with "d1b1". This would be illegal, of course, as a king move. But it is a legal king-side castle move and I thought that this is how the move would be interpreted. But then when I try to take the knight with "c1c2", it says this is illegal. Does it not think the rook is at c1?
If I am correct in my guess, then "d1b1" was accepted as a legal move, but the rook was not moved with a "a1c1". There is no "castle" or "kcastle" command, no other way to castle, no?
So, where is the problem? I am running this on Mac OS X 10.4.11. thanx - ray % /usr/local/bin/gnuchess xboard Chess Adjusting HashSize to 1024 slots d2d4 1. d2d4 1. ... d7d5 My move is: d7d5 b1b3 Illegal move: b1b3 b1c3 2. b1c3 2. ... g8f6 My move is: g8f6 g1f3 3. g1f3 3. ... b8c6 My move is: b8c6 c1f4 4. c1f4 4. ... c8f5 My move is: c8f5 d1b1 5. d1b1 5. ... c6b4 My move is: c6b4 a2a3 6. a2a3 6. ... b4c2 My move is: b4c2 c1c2 Illegal move: c1c2 q Illegal move: q quit % % /usr/local/bin/gnuchess -v GNU Chess 5.07 % _______________________________________________ Bug-gnu-chess mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnu-chess
