Re: [chessx-developer] Help needed

[Niklas F. <nik...@ba...>]

Dear Jens,

Happy new year! I am glad to see Chess960 support in chessx.

* Can not paste nor mannually setup positions like
  r1k2r1q/p1ppp1pp/8/8/8/8/P1PPP1PP/R1K2R1Q w KQkq - 0 1
  due to the non-standard castling rights.

* nrbqk1r1/ppppp1bn/5ppp/3B4/1P4PP/1R6/P1PPPP2/N1BQKNR1 b Kkq - 0 6
  When hovering over the king, the suggested move O-O is illegal
  and can not be played.

* [Variant "Fischerandom"]. Is other software using this?
  Usually I see [Variant "Chess960"].

* Setup a Chess960 position like
  bnrnqkrb/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/BNRNQKRB w KQkq - 0 1
  and run Stockfish with suffient PV.
  0-0 is indicated as Kxg1. Clicking the move causes:
  Fehler (1) beim Ausführen des Programms Stockfish
  [Error (1) while executing Stockfish].

Playing Chess960 games works fine, including all edge cases in move
generation that came to mind.

I'll continue using the development version and will report anything I
come up with.

Thanks,
Niklas
