The problem is the 'Q' for queen in 'f2g1Q'. It must be a 'q'. This was
reported by Igor Alelekov on 2014/06/29.
* Add a simple man.
* Consider adding resign and draw offer commands.
* Consider using readline.
* Add analysis tools for the evaluation function.
* Commands white/black/switch don't work. They are supposed to be
used for icsDrone. However, icsDrone reports to not work for
GNU Chess 5.02. Neither for v6...
* General cleanups: still some unused code from v5.
* Implement the weak mode.
* Improve compatibility with Chess Engine Communication Protocol.
For instance, 'move e2e4' instead of 'My move is : e2e4'.
* Add support for MS Windows.
* icsdrone for Internet
* 'pgnsave filename.pgn' will not replace filename.pgn, but will append to it.
This is not supported by the PGN format. The file must be replaced, may be
asking the user to confirm or deny, or a new file name must be requested.
* When 'name NAME' is used, the log.nnn file is created, but it will miss
to include some information compared with v5.
* Consider using gnulib for better portability.
* Include PolyGlot's book making capability.
* Include PolyGlot's book merging capability.
* GA/EC venture to make the chess engine stronger.
* Get benefit from multiple-core processors, by sharing search across them.
* End-game table
* Bug: in FICS, after quiting in the middle of a game, logging in again,
accepting resuming game as proposed by opponent, the opponent moved but
GNU Chess never moved again. GNU Chess ran out of it.
