As is defined now is always true, tested with:
for (long i=-1000000; i < 1000000; i++)
if (!move_is_ok(Move(i)))
exit(0);
Reason is that move_from() and move_to() already truncate the
input value to something in the range [0, 63] that is always
a possible square.
So change definition to something useful.
The same applies also to square_is_ok()

Keep the isChess960 flag inside Position so that is
copied with the Position, but esplicitly highlight the
fact that a FEN string has not enough information to detect
Chess960 in general case. To do this add a boolean argument
isChess960 to from_fen() function so to self document this
shortcoming of FEN notation.

Introduced by me in before 1.9 and found by Tord that says:
The 'isChess960' slot in the 'Position' class is currently
set depending on the initial files of the rooks, and not on the value
of the UCI_Chess960 parameter. This is incorrect, as there are lots of
Chess960 positions where the rooks start on the usual files. As a
consequence (unless I am missing something), Stockfish will occasionally
output castling moves as e1g1/e1c1 rather than the correct e1h1/e1a1 format
in Chess960 games. It is possible that some or even most GUIs are robust
enough to accept both notations, but I wouldn't bet on it. And in any case,
Stockfish's behavior clearly violates the protocol.

Second parameter of insertion_sort() is a pointer to the
element _after_ the last of the list, e.g. end() when sorting
all items.
If we want to sort say the first 2 moves we should write:
sort_multipv(2);
So, becuase in root moves loop move counter 'i' starts
from 0, we need to pass:
sort_multipv(i+1);
To sort up to move 'i' included.

It was introduced by patch 66d16592 of 22/3/2009 merging
from Glarurung iPhone.
Tord says:
That change is only found in the Glaurung iPhone app, and not
in the latest Glaurung UCI source code. I don't remember why
this was added (and the iPhone app, unlike the UCI engine,
was never version controlled), but it was almost certainly
because it was somehow needed in the communication between
the engine and the iPhone GUI, and that it was never meant to be
included in the UCI engine. My guess is that it has something to
do with castling moves being entered as e1-g1 in the GUI, but
represented as e1-h1 in the chess engine.
Removing it in Stockfish should be completely safe, and won't harm
the iPhone version. Initially the iPhone GUI called functions in the
chess engine for checking for legality of moves, writing the move
list in SAN format, and various other tasks, but this is no longer
the case in the current version.

It seems a more appropiate place (IMHO) and helps to clarify
that idle_loop() should return a move, not a score.
Fix also handling of stalemate positions (we were not
sending any score) and we don't need to wait on "ponderhit",
this is done when returning in think().

We have a small functionality change in case we have a
fail-high so that both rml[].pv and pv[] are updated, but if,
after researching, we have a fail-low then rml score is updated
again but pv[] remains the same and coming back from search we
used a PV line that has failed-low (after having failed-high).
With this patch we always use the 'correct' PV line, i.e. the
line with highest score at the end of the whole search.
Retire also redundant RootMove's 'move' member and directly
use pv[0] instead.
