Your java program fails to solve Chess problems.
I was solving Chess problems mate in 1 move and I realized that there are cases where the java program fails.
White to move and mate in one move
In the above attached image, the program does not give the option to choose the piece to promote, as I needed a horse in e8, to checkmate, and
instead gives me a Queen.
Thanks for reading.

Dear viewer,
The Lokafoft Chess applet is a fine piece
of software
that
features a book opening repertoire, an option to play white or
black, settings for levels of play (fixed time or ply
depth), won't allow illegal moves, it makes and accepts the
en-passant maneuver, promotion, castling, problem setup, and
it's able to find mate in 5 (default level), also recognizes
check, checkmate, and stalemate.
A very minor limitation is that the applet
always
promotes a Pawn to a Queen when a player reaches the eight
rank. This does not apply when the computer reaches the
eight rank since it then promotes to whichever piece is most
favorable to it.
The following example, with the same
position shown above in your e-mail will show that the
computer can indeed promote itself to any piece other than a Queen.
This time you play black pieces and need to move Qxb2 to
complete this demonstration:
 Stating that the
java program fails to solve Chess
problems only because doesn't have an option to give a player
the choice to promote a Pawn to another piece other than a Queen, is not
very accurate .
