In my game with Jeremy Good -- Hostage Chess game
http://play.chessvariants.org/pbm/play.php?game=Hostage+Chess&log=michaeljay-cvgameroom-2006-93-166

I am having some difficulty transferring freed pieces during exchanges
from the grey prison area to free blue area.  The system will allow the
player on move to drop a piece, but the opponent's freed piece will not
move to the blue area, even when attempted manually.  As a result, pieces
do not appear available to the opponent, even when the
potentially-droppable piece is free.

I really enjoyed the 'chess trifecta', and I hope we can hold a tourney like that again next quarter. Thanks to all the players -- and there were some great games here!

Thanks, Fergus, for the modification in Hostage Chess and the clarification for my opponent and me. I had in the past played with the preset which required the full coordinate notation, which worked fine--this one you have replaced it with is more like the notation suggested by the author of the game--very helpful, easy to understand.

Thank you for easing the play of one of my favorite games.

Well done, and it is appreciated.

This game looks to be well thought out.  I am pleased to see the
re-unification of the game as it is perceived through both eastern and
western eyes.  Each stands to gain something from the other.
I am glad it was submitted to the 3rd Courier tournament.  Thanks also to
Hans B. for the translation from the French.

Intriguing. It seems to be a very original game, with opportunities for novice and more masterful chess players. I look forward to seeing some finished games.
