As opposed to previous versions of ChessBase, ChessBase 13 supports the input and saving of illegal positions. This can be useful for demonstrational purposes or for explaining certain concepts.

 

The following example shows a position in which neither side has kings.

 

Board window with an illegal Position

 

If you wish to save or enter an illegal position, a dialog box appears notifying you that the position is illegal according to the FIDE rules of chess.

 

Example

 

You can, however, setup an illegal position and record moves in that position.

 

Moves can be entered and saved in a database just as for a legal position.
