Subject: Extend mate test to drop games
X-Git-Url: http://winboard.nl/cgi-bin?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d0de6f924767f55674690243ebdf126fd98e4906;p=xboard.git

Extend mate test to drop games

MateTest() in case of no legal moves now also looks if there are legal
drops that can resolve the check. This provides reliable mate testing in
Crazyhouse and Shogi, so these are now made subject to adjudications too.
