This is what would be expected but it doesn't work in positions where a cube action (double, beaver, etc.) or a resignation is offered.

GnuBG ID stores "double offered" in bit 13 and "resignation offered" in bits 14-15. So what causes this problem...?

Did you look at this:?

And this for images of copied then pasted GnuBG position examples:?

Either I misexpressed or you misunderstood what I was trying to do, which was just to be able to paste back a position to look exactly as it did when it was copied.

Then, of course, I would use analysis functions as you also indicated but I can't begin to do any analysis because I can't reproduce the positions that I had previously saved.
