Hi Again Aditya,

further to my previous message, when I tried to reproduce this a
second time with a view to fixing it I can no longer reproduce
the problem. And I have tried repeatedly.

As such I suggest you try GNU Chess 5.05, and see if you can
reproduce it. A fix for a similar problem went in since 5.02 (I
think 5.03) so maybe you are seeing this if the problem can be
reproduced readily.

Simon, perplexed as to what happened first time.
