Hi Aurelian and Jean-Louis.

The only rules enforcing programming I ever did was for my Throne Chess (a modification of FIDE Chess) - I had Fergus' help, and I found it tricky after decades of not doing any programming in any language.

Aurelian's existing unofficial preset/settings file for Frog Chess (Regular Castling version) seems to work based on the few games he played with it, except there seems to be (or were?) bug(s) for detection of checkmate when a frog is involved; just check was announced in one case I saw. Maybe an extra condition for seeing if a king would walk into or be under a frog attack would be fix(s), I'm not sure, even after looking at Aurelian's preset/file in Edit mode, trying to guess the possible bug(s).
