Castling maybe not working

[mkondel]

Just as an example, here is the board, player is white. As you can see, castling is not in the list of possible moves. There is a Board.getShortNotationOfMove() that should return '0-0-0' and '0-0', but move.kingsideCastle and move.queensideCastle are not getting recognized at that point.

Same issue for me, as I saw in the code, the parser is not ready, nor the available moves report castling :-(
Time for a fork ;-)

I can fix this. For a start, it appears all the + and - symbols are backwards, although then the game crashes (during my testing the AI played Ng4xh2 just before this!):

Fixing makeMove then results in command l being able to list the move, although I can't play O-O.

Well done, thanks for that first patch ;-)
