Hello,

Mate in 1 problems:

Problem # 1 will not en-passant

Problems # 3 & 6 will not promote to Knight

I quit trying to solve them afterwards.

It’s a great looking site, other than these and possibly other glitches, unless I'm missing something.

Thx.

Dear viewer,

We have a quite large amount of interactive Chess problems using the Lokasoft software and with the exception of (3) problems: #1, #3, and #6 in the "Mate in 1" section, they all should work as expected.

The reason of this problem is a minor limitation in the way the Java program handles Chess problems that rely on Pawn promotion and en-passant maneuvers in problem solving setups.
