bastiaan: this is not the same bug if you don't get the same error message, please open a new bug. I will fix it when I have time.

sorry but it IS the same bug, it happens on the same line in the execution, in the same function. I think it has something to do with the promotion piece. I have seen this error three times now and it involves a promotion piece everytime. I will see if I can make a faster reproducable case.

Ok I know for sure that it has to do with the promotion! Just try this FEN: rnk2Bn1/p1p1Ppp1/bp6/1P6/6r1/7p/P1PP1PPP/RN2K1NR w KQ - 0 0 And do the following moves: e8=Q+ Kb7 bxa6+ Kxa6 Bb4 Rg5 a4 Rg6 a5 Rg5 Qc8 This produces the error on line 410. However, if you take a FEN that has been created after the promotion than you will not have any problems with that last move. I see in cellog's report that there is a promotion too and the error is caused when moving the promoted piece into checkmate. I hope this is enough information to fix it. I would love to have this bug removed.

I think I have fixed the bug, I have tested with 5 cases and all behave normal. My fix is to change line 451 of Standard.php from: if ($to{1} == '8' || $to{1} == '1') { to: if (!empty($promote) and ($to{1} == '8' || $to{1} == '1')) { This way not every pawn that is promoted and then moved to row 1 or 8 is taken from the board. I will try to help fix bugs in the future. Cheers, Bastiaan

great detective work. If you don't mind, would you be willing to guinea pig your work for a little while before I do a new release? I would like to write a unit test that verifies the bug with the existing code, and then apply the fix. If you're feeling extra-motivated, then go ahead and write the test yourself. I'm very close to having my system enough in order to be able to do this work. Incidentally, some code that is sitting on my hard drive untested is the ability to calculate ratings, ICC-style. I don't know how to test this properly without starting a fake ICC account, playing a few games, and logging how the rating changes, but if you would like to see that code, I can get it in order over the next week also.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the end of next Sunday (CET) on pear.php.net. In case this was a pear.php.net website problem, the change will show up on the website in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PEAR better.
