Subject: Use SAN even on illegal moves
X-Git-Url: http://winboard.nl/cgi-bin?a=commitdiff_plain;h=43af9167802e5ce0cf6f88c34785c11043c289bf;p=xboard.git

Use SAN even on illegal moves

If there is only one piece of type T, moves like Ta1 or Txa1 are never
ambiguous, so adding the from square is just cumbersome.
