Did they finally merge the En Passant fork into the master branch? Been waiting to update my board to the latest version.

    bro hasn't updated his dependencies since the 16th century. You're cooked, I bet you haven't even read the man page for Ruy Lopez.

    EDIT: People these days are trying to get the 960 branch to be seen as legit, but struggling.

    In case you (the reader, not expr@programming.dev who I'm sure is old enough :P) were born after 9/11:

    I understand WHY it's named this way, from a technology point of view. The first drive on the IDE cable is the only one that uses its controller. The other drives disable their own controller and blindly follow the Master drive.

    Engineering calls these kind of relationships Master/Slave: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master%E2%80%93slave_(technology)

    That being said, when I was learning this in the 90s it was seen as a problematic phrase... but it was the terminology of the field so you had to learn/use it.
