It works under linux; With suggested moves on, drag one king to the other. With suggest moves off, clicking them works too. Wow, talk about obscure features :-) Thanks! Remco On Tue, Oct 29, 2013 at 4:19 PM, Ben St-Pierre wrote: > OK, I now could enter a Null move by clicking on the two Ki

OK, I now could enter a Null move by clicking on the two Kings. But I needed to uncheck "Show Suggested Moves" in Options/Moves first. When "Show Suggested Moves" is on, clicking on the two Kings on the start position does nothing. This may be as it should be, as suggested moves can hinder Null mo
