 It seems to always get the correct position set up
at the beginning, and oddly enough, it also seems
to play legal moves -- except the final one which we
are not supposed to "see", where it moves its King
into check.

  A few issues remaining:


 1)  improper handling of draws and draw claims;

 2)  advance level is nearly impossible to play,
unless you are operating a 3000-rated monster
which crushes the program *quickly*;

 3)  sometimes the program goes into a deep
think, on move one, as White;

 4)  when there is but one legal move, the GC
program may think for an hour before deciding
which move to play.
