It sometimes takes en-passent pawn moves when there are no pawns to capture! Even though it won't let YOU make en-passent moves. First time this happened I got so p*ssed I promoted eight pawns to queens and ran its king all around the board torturing it until I could come up with a nice symmetrical mate with queens all around the king... It's a pretty punk program - /usr/games/chess is MUCH smarter and faster... -- Ben Cranston ...{seismo!umcp-cs,ihnp4!rlgvax}!cvl!umd5!zben zben@umd2.ARPA
