I'm working on a new Shogi preset that will use the fairychess file. I created new built-in functions for it I'll describe tomorrow. Here is a sequence of moves I am using for testing. The current position is one where a Pawn drop would cause checkmate if it were allowed. It currently stops the actual move, but it still displays the Pawn drop as a legal move. Since I am having trouble posting the form, here is the list of moves:

1. p 5g-5f 
1... P 3c-3d 
2. p 7g-7f 
2... B 2b-8h; +B-dest 
3. s 7i-8h 
3... B*5g

4... B 5g-2d; +B-dest 
5. p 2g-2f 
5... P 5c-5d 
6. p 5f-5e 
6... P 5d-5e 
7. g 6h-5g 
7... +B 2d-5g 
8. g 4i-5h 
8... +B 5g-3i
