Относно: The DB outputs

I was so happy to see the thing finally able to put out text, I did not check any of them other than the first mate in 40, which looks like a mate in 40.

However, there are two areas that are suspect.

1. The database could be fine and the translation to the output text could be wrong.

2. The database could be garbage.

Just as an FYI, this is a database generator, and it does not apply the "50 move rule" to any such position. It solves all of the checkmates and draws on the first pass. Then, it backs up one move at a time, seeing which play is forced, and which is not forced.

It works its way backwards, from checkmated to mate in 1 to mated in 2 to mate in 3, etc.

Since I do most of my coding from the hours of 9 PM to 2 AM, I need to double check this stuff.

For now, consider all posted solutions to be on hold, subject to further review.
