Another warning: using (count-condition (total-piece-count 2)) in an attempt to add an 'automatic draw rule' to a ZRF can create serious problems. A sample position is given a Comment to my Zillions of Games file for King's Leap Chess.

Joe: Shatranj (and Makruk) variants are indeed popping faster then we can classify them. I am currently working on an 8x8 variant with Chinese Cannons added. One could also call it a sort of 'mini-Shako' variant, with the Bishops and Queens removed.
