OK, I seem to have produced something that works according to specs. I uploaded it to http://hgm.nubati.net/CwDA.exe. I had it play matches against Fairy-Max in FIDE-Nutters and Clobberers-Rookies, and there don't seem to be any illegal moves anymore. I did this using the old piece IDs of Fairy-Max, but in the uploaded version I replaced this by the new IDs we agreed on, but added a checkbox option that can be used to select the old IDs. The piece-to-char tables sent in the 'setup' command still always use the old IDs, though, and don't provide IDs for pieces of the opponent army; this is still something I have to fix. But I am not sure ChessV even looks at the setup command, and the pieceToCharTables probably have meaning for Win/XBoard only.
I also added a checkbox option 'Traitor promotion', where you can switch the possibility to have it promote to the super-piece of the opponent army on or off.
[Edit 2019-05-28] I fixed a problem with input of under-promotions, (which could not be tested by playing against Fairy-Max, as it never does those). It now also can do all under-promotions to pieces of its own army (the FIDE version of KingSlayer only considered promotion to Q and N, but not in all armies the other pieces are as redundant as B or R). The pieceToCharTables in the 'setup' command now use the piece IDs that are selected by the old IDs option, and merge in the super-piece of the opponent army, if the 'Traitor promotion' option is enabled.
