This looks like an interesting game, and the page is well-written and presented. I moved the headings down one level, because the script handles the H1 and H2 headings, and author-entered headings should normally begin with H3.

The Pychess link did not work. I left it up in case this is temporary. If Pychess is no longer around, I hope someone will let me know.

While not mentioned so much explicitly, it seems that Kingdom Pawns do get double moves, and Dynasty Pawns may not capture them en passant, though they may still capture them sideways.

I added this game to the Unequal Armies category, and I removed it from the Usual Equipment categories, since it cannot be played with nothing but the usual equipment.

Edit: I fixed it now. It needs an https.

And thanks for the changes and comments!

Idk how to prohibit hops with captureMatrix. I thought captureMatrix=/..$=.........//////////// would work.

Edit: Fixed. Thx HGM!

You must not write anything on the row behind the =. Probably /..$= would already do. On encountering the = filling of the matrix skips to the friendly captures/hops, and at the same time copies what you already have defined in the row (so ..$ here) to the corresponding friendly interactions. What you continue after that will start to overwrite the copied friendly interactions.
