Is anyone aware of chess software that will allow one to create a position diagram without kings?
I want to create some training positions that do not use kings such as
White bishop on b1
black pawns on a7, b7 and c7
with white to move how does white stop all of black's pawns promoting?
for example

Winboard 4.2.3 a free download is a small program that sits on your desk top
so need to be on the net. It allows every illegal position you can think off
Some forums (this one for example) do not allow a position without Kings but do allow illegal positions. (with Kings)
One wee annoying feature about winboard is every time you fire it up it will ask you what engine you want to use.
add this line to the winboard.ini.
/ncp
and save it. It will stop asking.
