Myracle GUI

[Max]

Played in the meantime several "normal" games with Beowulf and all went well!

Only with an starting position (i.e. without Nb1) the forfeit by illegal move happens after opponents castling.

I use this book without-Nb1.pgn for all knight odd games:

Code: Select all

[Event "?"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "????.??.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "?"]
[Black "?"]
[Result "*"]
[SetUp "1"]
[FEN "rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/R1BQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1"]

It seems to be an issue of Beowulf and has nothing to do with Myracle.
Sorry Martin

no problem, I'm glad we figured it out - perhaps someone interested might fix the engine since it's open source.
it seems that in parser.c in EditMode function the engine should infer castling rights before BoardToFEN,
where kings and rooks are in their initial positions. it's funny that Beowulf supports setboard <fen>, but that is protover 2 command,
so the GUIs don't know it's available.
