Thanks H.G., I moved my Advancer as indicated and check was now announced by the Applet generated preset for Butterfly Chess in my game vs. Joe Joyce.

If there was a post on 13 May saying in effect that the preset would now work as I hoped (i.e. announce check by the Advancer move), I somehow missed such a post.

@ H.G. Muller (or Fergus):

Regarding moving my White Advancer to j6 (giving check unannounced by the Applet generated preset in my game of Butterfly Chess with Joe Joyce in the following link), I have now assumed you both have long stopped looking for an [easy] way I can make that Advancer move over-the-board and make it my chosen move, with someone first somehow changing the preset to announce check by the Advancer. Would it be all right/adequate if I just live with the preset the way it is (at least for now) and go ahead and make my Advancer move vs. Joe?:

@ Bn Em:

I edited the intro sections slightly, to the (3) Rules pages (two already published, recently), as I think you requested.

@ Bn Em (or other editor):

I edited the intro slightly, and I now think this is okay to be reviewed.

@ Bn Em:

I (again) edited the intro section, and think you may like this Rules Page better now for your review.

P.S,: edited it once more, at 1:40 A.M.

Hi Bn Em

Yes, I see your points, but all the same please publish the four as they are, and then you (or possibly other editor(s)) can check the remaining 3 - if subsequent editor(s) are different for the remaining 3 then I'll have to consider their judgement(s) from scratch, even if it affects all 7 all over again.

Regards, Kevin Pacey

@ H.G.:

Yes, I originally would have thought when an Advancer made a move that threatened a King, an enforcing preset would automatically announce check.

However, maybe the Advancer, being an Ultima-like piece, does not actually make a check in an Ultima-like game (which Butterfly Chess is not)? So I now ask, is that the usual assumption that Applet generated preset code makes for every CV put through the generating process? If so, maybe an option can be added to the Applet to ask if Ultima-like pieces should announce check.

A problem for Butterfly Chess, anyway, is that if check is not announced for Advancers, what happens if the opponent's next move leaves his king vulnerable to capture by the Advancer. Does the preset announce the opponent made an illegal move (my much preferred choice, implicit in Butterfly Chess rules), or can the king be captured (if so, is a win announced, or does a player type in 'won' after his K-capturing Advancer move is manually entered, or does he tell his opponent to make a legal move instead)?

@ H.G. Muller:

Have you seen my comment to you that I am replying to? Not too much of a rush, if you're busy or stumped.
