If you can't castle, you can't promote a pawn, and you can't en passant, it isn't chess.

Wonder if any student somewhere isn't trying to take up the challenge of adding castling to the code, using an emulator. I like to think that's something i would try to do as a student, because i'm pretty sure there's a tremendous amount of skill to gain by doing it.

True, but even "Chess lite" in 672 bytes is mind-blowing.
