Hello -
I am looking to set up specific board positions to test an app. For example, I wanted a trivial test of queen promotion and so tried the board "7k/P7/8/8/8/8/8/K7". This gives a "Board is wrong!" error and I am not sure why it would be wrong.
You can see, below, how I set this up. (This is on a Mac OS X system, version 10.4.11, in Terminal.)
I see nothing in the FAQ about how the engine gets tested. I am sure it has occurred to others that this can be automatedly tested via scripts. Are the scripts or board setups that people have laying around? Is there a location where the testing is documented that I have not found yet? Any suggestions would be welcome.
