Chess::Board::setFenString fails when it's given a Crazyhouse FEN like this:
rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR[-] w KQkq -

The [-] means that there are no hand pieces.

Incredible!

Why [-] and not simply [] ?

Crazyhouse....crazy protocol :-)

I'd prefer to drop the brackets completely if there are no hand pieces. But whoever made the first PGN implementation of Crazyhouse got to define the de facto standard.
