IMHO some parts of scids "check for validity" code needs to be touched. Not only to support Chess960, but also to support "external input" e.g. by using an external board like the DGT or Novag. Probably this also "repairs" Chess960 support or it can be solved in the context. Point is: currently scid really refuses every "illegal" move, simply cause scids input methods are bullet proof in the sense that they do not allow for illegal moves. "It can not be there what can not be there" ;) But you surely have this in Chess960 and you also might notice it using external input. Of course you can move your king into chess on an external board. The move is illegal of course but scid should not nearly die thereof ;) See also my ohter mail on the input engine issue. -- Kind regards, Alexander Wagner Universitaetsbibliothek Ilmenau Langewiesener Str. 37 98693 Ilmenau Tel.: 03677/69-4521 , Fax.: 03677/69-4617 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
