Issue with 960 castling rights
Some chess960 PGNs uses "KQkq" in the FEN setup tag to indicate castling rights instead of the widely used "Shredder format" (EAea, HAha etc). HCE Pro fails to import/open these with castling rights set correctly. In version 1.2 an error message is inserted into the notation. In version 1.2.1 HCE simply ends the game on the move preceding the first castling. All 960 PGNs from e.g. LiChess uses the KQkq convention.

Thanks, I did not realise that rare format was not supported or that it was still in use, I will look at resolving it for the next update.

Re: Issue with 960 castling rights
The legacy FEN castling flags for Chess960/FRC are now supported and it should be available in the next release.
