No, I missed something. Bangkok reads pre-existing chess game files. Those 
files contain standard chess move strings that have modifiers that explicitly 
say "check" or "checkmate". Bangkok notifies the listener when it sees those; 
it does not look at the pieces and determine if there is a check or checkmate.

I think I'd better withdraw my solution. It isn't a solution to the quiz you 
posed. Oh, well, Only 15-20 minutes of my life wasted.
