I have done it and it seems to be working fine!

For the terror trading rule, would it work to have set protected (EA T t) in pre-move 1 and set protected (ea T t) in pre-move 2?

or maybe they should be in post-game 2 and 1?

I suppose that would heve worked, if you did that as first thing in the Post-Move sections. But I have already changed the betza.txt to use different arrays for the capturer and the victim. So now you have to put in Pre-Game:

set protected (T t);
set restricted (EA T ea t);

I have pasted that at the end of the pregame section.

You must also put

set opaque (EA FA BA SM AR ea fa ba sm ar);

there to make the flying pieces block each other.

Done!

Flying pieces still do not fly!

They work the same as in the interactive diagram, only jumping over enemies.

Ok, I thought it is like in tenjiku shogi!

Sorry, I was wrong. The real explanation is that they only jump to capture. It works correctly anyhow.

@HG My preset for this game is giving an error about fast castling. It used to work. Any idea why?
