Hi All
Does anyone have problems under promoting when using Rev 2? In a tricky puzzle, Rev 2 needed to promote to a Knight. The machine recognised this crucial move straightaway - the entire line starting 'd8 N ...' was found and displayed in a moment (even on the default level) - very impressive - but it was impossible to reproduce this promotion on the board.
Best Wishes All

Hi Shaun,
You are quite correct, you have found a bug. When you replace the pawn with the knight, 2 corners flash and the piece is not recognised.
I tried this again on Stockfish 6 and it works perfectly, then I realised you don’t have this Engine, so I tried again with Baron 1.0, again it works fine.
I haven’t tried all Engines, but under promotion to a Knight does not complete on Hiarcs 14.1.
Cheers,
Al.
