I decided that *it is* allowed to pass a move whenever you want. I tested a
DOS program downloadable from the Internet (jangki.zip). This program is
written by the Korean Hak Jong Lee, and I assume that he knows the correct
rules. In this game, pass is allowed all the time. However, the English
rules file, provided with the zip-file, says that pass is only allowed if
no other move available. The rules file is written by Roleigh Martin, and
I assume that he got it wrong. If I'm right, then the following article
must be corrected:

Those interested ought to download my Zillions implementation again,
because I have altered the pass rule. Korean Chess seems less
'populistic' than Chinese Chess, which is much about mating the king. In
Korean Chess play occurs over the whole board, and games take longer to
play. It's more strategical, it seems.
