OK, I will try that next time.

I have no problem compiling. What version of the compiler are you using? Thank you for your answer. Here is the version of my 32-bit compiler : FreeBASIC Compiler - Version 1.07.1 (2019-09-27), built for linux-x86 (32bit) Copyright (C) 2004-2019 The FreeBASIC development tea...

The procedure OnOutput writes to eschecs.log. And also the dependent procedures: OnUciOk, OnBestMove...

Yes, let's hope. :)

By the way, there is a bug in the chess library.



In that position the castling on the left should be allowed.
