I'm pretty impressed with some of the winboard compatible engines on the net (there's tons). I get beat every time.. one minute I'm there with all of my pieces, the next they're gone and I'm check mated

, I included the 2 best/fastest ones i've tried and which doesn't use a wierd dielect of the protocol.

here is the protocol:

winboard = windows version
xboard = linux version
they both use the same protocol

Umm - when you 'quit' the game from the debugger, it leaves a hagrid process running which uses almost all the cpu cycles untill you kill it with task manager.

Updated, no longer need the debugger to see the output and added a whole bunch more

The bishop in this picture thinks it is a Queen or Rook and moved 1 square sideways and put me in check.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

@Derek, I'll look into it

(being black is still a new feature with probably some bugs)

edit: I see what happened. It's a bug with the castling.
