Hi again H.G.

Well, I had thought making the Interactive Diagram aware of the castling rules in use, alone, would require reading the tutorial, perhaps. I wasn't sure about the Omega Pawns, but maybe they can indeed go straight from the table to the 'manufacturing' diagram (for making the final ID, however steps are made to do so). Looking at the tutorial, don't you think there are a lot of special cases and Betza code knowledge expected to be known, at least for some CVs, though? At least that's the impression I got at a glance. Maybe a caveat somewhere that generating a ID is often very easy would be good to put somewhere.

Anyway, it's unfortunate fast castling is apparently not supported yet by Game Code. Any number of my latest CV ideas use fast castling, as I have been using boards for them that are often quite wide.

@ Haru:

Sorry, please ignore my request in my previous post, as fast castling for use in a rules enforcing preset is not in the cards at this time.

Regards again to you both, Kevin
