Finaly, original setup is fine.
I modified Zillions ZRF adding '(verify (empty? $1))' just after
'(define leap(' in order to fix Horse moves.
When zillions calculate (at depth 16) on such setup, it doesn't take this
Elephant trap, and the playing remains quite equilibrate:
Ce2,Ca5,Cxe6,Cxa1,Ha3,Cb1,Hb5,Mc5,Hc3,Cb6,Hd5,Cb1,Pa2,Mb6,Hc3,Cb2...
On the contrary, switching file of Cannon for setup, is giving greater
advantage to Red at the very begining:
Ha3,He4,Ce2,Ca5,Rb1,Rd6,Hc4,Cc5,Ea3,Hc3,Cc2,Rd4,Exc5!,Mxc5,Rb3...
So let's play the mini-shogi-like setup !
PS: I was wrong on the 'Cannon zillions implementation error'. In fact
that was the impossibility for Generals to face them diagonaly.
Maybe stroking 2 General-diagonal lines on the board would be a good Idea
!?
